The COVID-19 Vaccine

 

                The world is in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic. Every year, vaccines save millions of lives. Vaccines work by teaching and preparing the body's natural defenses, the immune system, to identify and combat the viruses and bacteria they are designed to combat. If the body is later exposed to such disease-causing germs after vaccination, the body is able to kill them right away, avoiding illness. Vaccines are an important new weapon in the fight against COVID-19, and the fact that so many vaccines are proving to be effective and are being developed is extremely promising. Scientists from all over the world are working and innovating as rapidly as they can to bring us experiments, medications, and vaccines that can save lives and put an end to the pandemic.

                COVID-19 vaccination will help keep you from getting COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection. COVID-19 vaccination will be an important tool to help stop the pandemic. COVID-19 vaccines have been shown in studies to be successful in preventing COVID-19 infection. And if you do contract COVID-19, being vaccinated against it will help you avoid being severely ill.

                According to a poll conducted by pollster Pulse Asia, nearly half of Filipinos are hesitant to get the Covid-19 vaccine due to safety concerns. Just about a third of the 2,400 Filipino adults surveyed said they would be willing to be vaccinated, and another 21% said they were unsure. 84 percent of those who don't want to get the vaccine say they're "not sure of its safety. “Seven people have died from blood clots after receiving AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said Saturday, according to multiple reports.

                Safe and successful vaccinations will change the game, but for the time being, we must continue to wear masks, keep a safe distance, and avoid crowds. Because the degree to which vaccinations can protect not only against disease but also against infection and transmission is still unclear, being vaccinated does not mean we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk. So, the real question is: Are the risks worth the benefits?
