Now that the vaccines of COVID-19 is available many are scared of taking it because they wonder if it's safe. In the proceeding paragraphs, points will be disscussed the of how the COVID -19 vaccines work.
The names of the COVID-19 vaccines.;
The first vaccine is Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine (and Moderna's) uses bits of genetic code to cause an immune response. These are called mRNA vaccines. They do not alter human cells, but merely present the body with instructions to build immunity to Covid. The vaccine is 100% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus in children ages 12 through 15. This vaccine is for people age 12 and older. It requires two injections given 21 days apart. The second dose can be given up to six weeks after the first dose, if needed.
The second vaccine is The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine uses a harmless virus altered to look a lot more like the pandemic virus. This vaccine is for people age 18 and older. It requires two injections given 28 days apart. The second dose can be given up to six weeks after the first dose, if needed.
Coronaviruses have a spikelike structure on their surface called an S protein. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give cells instructions for how to make a harmless piece of an S protein. You might be having an allergic reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine if you experience these signs within four hours of getting vaccinated:
After vaccination, your cells begin making the protein pieces and displaying them on cell surfaces. Your immune system will recognize that the protein doesn't belong there and begin building an immune response and making antibodies.
What may likely happen;
Though, some recently immunised people have suffered unusual clots, including a type in the brain called cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CSVT).This is not proof that the vaccine is to blame. Covid infection itself can also make clots more likely and they can occur naturally too. Experts stress the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks for the vast majority of people, but is more finely balanced for younger adults. As a precaution, regulators are continuing to monitor the situation and advise symptoms, such as unusual bruising or persistent headache after vaccination, should prompt a medical check.
You might be having an allergic reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine if you experience these signs within four hours of getting vaccinated:
- hivess
- Swelling of the lips, eyes or tongue
- Wheezing
Be aware that anti-vaccine stories are spread online through social media. These posts are not based on scientific advice (or blend facts with misinformation).
Is it safe for pregnant women; If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may choose to get a COVID-19 vaccine. While further research is needed, early findings suggest that getting a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy poses no serious risks. The findings are based on data from the CDC’s coronavirus vaccine safety monitoring system. If you have concerns, talk to your health care provider about the risks and benefits. So from the above one should not be scared of taking the vaccines, it's protect us from getting the disease which is very deadly. Equitable access to safe and effective vaccines is critical to ending the COVID-19 pandemic, so it is hugely encouraging to see so many vaccines proving and going into development. WHO is working tirelessly with partners to develop, manufacture and deploy safe and effective vaccines. Safe and effective vaccines are a game-changing tool: but for the foreseeable future we must continue wearing masks, cleaning our hands, ensuring good ventilation indoors, physically distancing and avoiding crowds. Being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk, particularly because research is still ongoing into how much vaccines protect not only against disease but also against infection and transmission. * we love to hear from you please leave a reply*
