The
whole country is quarantined because a virus has spread around the globe. Cases
of this said virus drastically increased over the months, and doctors haven’t
discovered a medicine that can cure carriers of COVID-19. Classes were
suspended on March 13, 2020, and the quarantine started on March 15, 2020, from
then on, our economy was failing because lots of people lost their jobs because
of this pandemic.
A vaccine has been released and was injected to
those who are exposed in corona virus such as health workers and seniors. A lot
of people are scared to be vaccinated because the efficacy of the vaccine is
not yet confirmed. However, the vaccine should not be feared. According to
professionals, such as Lisa Maragkis M.D., M.P.H., senior director of infection
prevention, and Gabor Kelen M.D., director of Johns Hopkins Office of Critical
Event Preparedness and response, the vaccine for Corona Virus has a safe
profile based on research. These vaccines have been tested out in large
clinical trials. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given two
COVID-19 vaccines emergency use authorization (EUA).
Some
claims states that these vaccines are not safe. However, these side effects
only occur on people who has severe allergy such as anaphylaxis. “People with
allergies to certain foods, insects, latex and other common allergens can
safely receive the COVID-19 vaccine.” The CDC stated. “Those with a history of
severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to injectables or other vaccines should
discuss the vaccination with their doctor, who can evaluate and assess their
risk.” They added. Some people experiences fever, headaches, muscle aches,
fatigue, or all of the above after receiving the vaccine.
Based on the evidences shown above, we should not be
afraid in COVID 19 vaccination because it lowers our chance in contracting the
virus. Vaccination is a way of familiarizing your body with how should it
defend from Corona Virus. This process protects you, and the people around you
from this deadly virus.
