Stopping the pandemic involves unity and accessibility of the community to vaccines. These vaccines will help us have protection against the worst-case-scenario once we get contracted by the virus. Today, we’ll let you know some of the perks vaccinated people get aside from being protected.
Why You Should Get Vaccinated
1. Safe Vaccines
Vaccines are created to ensure the safety of its users against severe illness. In this ongoing pandemic, only getting vaccinated is one of the key to stop the spread of this severe disease. The fast and continuous transmission of the virus with deadly outcomes will come to an end once all of us are fully vaccinated.
The Covid-19 vaccines, although developed rapidly, it has been created with careful study using science. The development and creation underwent stages of clinical trials that were required in the making of safe vaccines.
These vaccines were extensively tested and monitored to know that they are safe and effective against the virus.
2. COVID-19 vaccines are effective
Along with ensuring its safety, the main concern for vaccine developers and users is definitely the effectivity that it brings.
Covid 19 vaccine protects us from getting the virus and thus stopping its spread. Getting vaccinated will not only protect you but the people around you too.
If you do get Covid-19 though, the vaccine will protect your immune system from getting seriously ill.
3. Against new Variants
Coronavirus is also known to be fast mutating and contagious. It was able to develop into several variants such as the Delta and the Lambda variant. There were other mutations but these variants were mostly known due to the sudden surge in cases brought by them.
Getting vaccinated will also give you the benefit of getting protected against these variants. Although some vaccine brands needed booster shots, the coverage it gives is still useful against hospitalization.

4. The vaccine will help you reconnect with friends and family.
Once you’ve received the vaccine and waited the recommended time for your body to build immunity, you can visit in person with other people who have been vaccinated without wearing a mask. Also, if you’ve been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you do not need to quarantine if you are fully vaccinated and not experiencing symptoms.
After a year of uncertainty, the vaccine has arrived and has clear benefits that should make everyone strongly considered getting the shot. By choosing to be vaccinated, you can protect not only yourself and your family but your community as well.
5. Final Step to stop the pandemic
Getting everyone fully Vaccinated will be our last step in putting an end to this pandemic. Vaccination is part of the efforts to help us go back to our normal lives wherein we can talk freely and stop using masks. Although it feels like wearing masks will still be necessary indoors or in highly populated areas, vaccines are proven to slow the spread of the virus.
Finding shows that Vaccinated people who contract the virus with minimal symptoms like whooping cough shows that they have fewer particles of the virus in their mouth and nose which means they are less likely to spread it to others.
As more people continue to receive the vaccine, we might reach herd immunity, which means the spread of the virus becomes unlikely. It’s important we all receive the vaccine to help us achieve this public health goal.
