Immunity over the COVID-19 Virus

 

            The challenges brought by the pandemic is inevitable, especially to the young ones. COVID-19 is a threat mostly to children, teens, and senior citizens. Children and teens have to face the protocols given by our government, such as being in their homes until the virus is contained, no physical interactions. With that said, children and teens cannot go to schools, cannot play with their friends, and many more. However, as our government continues to vaccinate its fellow citizens, scientist and researchers are now happy to announce that COVID-19 vaccines are already approved to be at used for children and teens. We all have common questions such as, are the vaccines effective? Are we sure that the vaccines can protect us from the virus? 

            As the pandemic continues, we find ourselves not at ease because we cannot see who is infected or not. As the lockdown continues, scientists have now discovered a vaccine to prevent the deadly symptoms of the virus itself. As it undergo clinical trial, it has proven its worth over the time. The first parts of the vaccination programs, only 18 years old above and 59 years old below are only allowed to have the vaccine. As time flies by the age limit has been widen until children and teens now have access to the vaccine. Here in the Philippines, vaccine rollouts are still ongoing for children and teens all through the country. Back to the questions. Are the vaccines effective? For me it has gone through clinical trials, we do have side effects with the vaccine as the scientist warns us that it could give us different side effects such as headache, fever, dizziness, nausea etc. Therefore, for me vaccines can really be effective nowadays. Are we sure that the vaccines can protect us from the virus? The vaccine itself cannot prevent us from getting the virus but rather protect us from the life threatening symptoms that you can get if you are infected.

            In order for us to be safe during this pandemic, we must always follow the protocols given by our government. It is a right for everyone to choose whether to get the vaccine or not, but as the pandemic continues many establishments prefer vaccinated people only to enter the premises. Immunity over the virus can be achievable with the help of vaccines and us fellow citizens working together.
