Covid-19 Vaccine

 


Vaccines give protection to most people around the world. Vaccination should not be feared because it gives more benefit rather than harm. More than a year now, the spread of covid-19 is rampant that’s why experts developed vaccine to control the said virus, or totally eradicate it in the future.

Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers the immune response within the body. The weakened version will not harm us as some people thinking of, instead, it will prepare the immune system to respond and fight the specific disease causing organism. Some Vaccines require multiple doses to allow the production of long lived antibodies and development of memory cells. In this way, our body is building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if exposed in the future. 

No single vaccine provides 100% protection, so being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risks. Like any medication, vaccines can cause side effects. In most cases,  side effects are mild and will gone after a few days. Severe, long-lasting side-effects from vaccines are rare.

The best COVID-19 vaccine is the first one that is available to you. Do not wait for a specific brand. All currently authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and reduce your risks of severe illness because it passes in different stages of trials. 

There are limited data about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people who are pregnant however, studies are on the way and currently, there are no data on the safety of COVID-19 on breastfeeding people or on the effects of mRNA vaccines on the breastfed infant or on milk production or excretion. People with severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to any component of the COVID-19 vaccine should not receive the vaccine. The current mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines were not studied or approved in children younger than 16 years old.

Overall, Vaccines protect us and the people around us. You should have no problem being vaccinated unless you’re ineligible to be vaccinated because of some reasons like allergies, age, etc. We must be strong this pandemic and stay safe.

Improvement

Image
  I've come a long way and learn so much during the 4th Quarter of School. I learn more about so many things. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the new knowledge I've learned.  Writing essays is not really my forte so I struggle a lot making one. It was hard for me most of the time. So making essays are the last thing I'll do when doing my modules.  Doing the essays let me improve my writings, even just a little bit. Everytime I ran out of Ideas on how to write and what to write, I mostly turn to the internet and get ideas and inspiration.

3rd Quarter

Image
  Throughout the 3rd Quarter I learned further about html and web design, I also learned about Community Based Research. Through the activities, I learned more or discover more about the community I’m in.  Some of the challenges I’ve encountered is that lack of motivation, unstable internet connection, etc. These challenges are mostly self-dependent and as long as I push myself harder, I should be able to win against these challenges or problems.  Relaxation is good but it seems that I’m relaxing too much that I spent much more time to complete my modules compared to before, so, I’m trying to regain my focus and motivation in learning this past few days.  Moving on, I’ll try to get back my motivation and work much harder than before. I’ll continue to stay strong and safe this pandemic. References  https://wallpaperaccess.com/blue-sea

Controlling the spread of this virus takes courage, specially when you, yourself is at stake. Frontliners sure are brave.      People find a way to solve their problems. They are strong because they are able to survive despite the setbacks and challenges. People makes a country better and strong...
