What you should know about vaccine?
COVID-19
vaccinations are both safe and effective in preventing disease, particularly
severe sickness and death. COVID-19 vaccinations help people avoid spreading
the illness. You may experience side effects as a result of the vaccine. These
are common and will pass in a few days. It takes the body around two weeks
after vaccination to develop immunity (protection) against the virus that
causes COVID-19.
That means a
person could contract COVID-19 before or shortly after immunization and become
ill as a result of the vaccine failing to provide adequate protection. Two
weeks after receiving their second dosage, they are deemed fully immunized.
Let's see the Vaccine’s Magic
1.
Get
your backpack ready to travel.
Even if
everyone is fully vaccinated, it is okay to join with other small groups
without a mask inside a house or private setting for fully vaccinated people,
but medium and large gatherings are not recommended at this time.
Many activities that you conducted before the pandemic can
be resumed once you are completely vaccinated for COVID-19. Except where
required by federal, state, municipal, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and
regulations, including local business and workplace recommendations, you can
resume your activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet away.
2.
Vaccines will help keep you healthy
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends vaccinations throughout your life to protect against many
infections. When you skip vaccines, you leave yourself vulnerable to illnesses
such as shingles, pneumococcal disease, flu, and HPV and hepatitis B, both
leading causes of cancer.
3.
You can now meet you loved one
You can visit other persons who have been vaccinated in
person without wearing a mask once you've received the vaccine and waited the
appropriate period for your body to build immunity. If you are completely
vaccinated and not having symptoms, you do not need to quarantine if you have
been near someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
After a year of uncertainty, the vaccine is finally here,
with unambiguous benefits that should entice everyone to get the dose. You can
safeguard not just yourself and your family, but also your community, by being
vaccinated.
4.
Vaccines are as important to your overall health
as diet and exercise
Like eating healthy foods, exercising, and getting regular
check-ups, vaccines play a vital role in keeping you healthy. Vaccines are one
of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available.
