Stimulating an effective and safe covid- 19 vaccine
Covid-19 has brought the world to a grinding halt. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 has turned into a global human tragedy and economic devastation. The pandemic has impacted almost every corner of life, causing global economies to stall, changing the way we work and interact with our loved ones, and stretching healthcare systems to the limit. It also has tested us like never before and now that we have developed covid-19 vaccines in record time to at least lower the risk of getting the virus, it is testing us again. While we are each doing our part of prevent the spread, and while frontline healthcare workers risk their lives to care for the sick, researchers are racing to find the one thing that will protect all of us in the long run a vaccine.
Vaccines reduce risks of getting diseases by working with our body’s natural defenses to build protection. When we get a vaccine, our immune system responds, it produces antibodies, proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight disease. Medical scientists are doing their best to make and reproduce these vaccines to be distributed around the world. This vaccine will inject to human and probably will have a lesser risk to get infected by the Covid-19 Virus. The availability of these vaccines had become a race against time in the middle of devastation and deaths that as of today no medicinal drug has the power to fight the infectious virus and that leave us with only one option namely an effective and safe covid-19 vaccines. Yet, these covid- 19 vaccines whether they are safe and effective or not is still a mystery query to the public.
Fortunately, the beginning of 2021 saw numerous vaccines given emergency approval and begin their roll out in countries across the world. COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in clinical trials and have been approved because there are studies that show these vaccine significantly reduces the probability of contracting the virus and are safe to be use. But we can’t deny that there would still be adverse side effects from these vaccines once they are injected to people like what we are seeing on social media platforms that’s why we can’t blame other people to refuse from getting vaccinated against the virus.
Covid vaccination is not mandatory but the government
is highly encouraging the
public to get vaccinated and be protected. It is
vital that we should be aware and evaluate as many vaccines because we cannot
predict how will they turn out to be viable and at the same time, it is
difficult for us to allocate these vaccines once they are proven safe and effective. Developing stronger immunity through
vaccination means there is a reduced risk of developing the virus and its
consequences but clearly the challenge today at the moment is to raise people
level of trust on the different manufactured covid vaccines which experts also
agree.
Even though we already developed vaccines in record time and get vaccinated through these, still prevention is better than cure. We still need to follow those precautionary step and health protocols implemented by the government like wearing facemask and face shield, maintain social distancing, no mass gathering and other more to combat the said virus. I am really hoping one day this covid 19 pandemic will end now so we can go back to our normal lives again without worries and fear. Stay safe everyone!
