Have you taken your vaccine or being offered to get one?
Me?
I did get an offer but I refuse it because they said that it is not compulsory.
Why did I refuse?
Well, I have a lot of things going on my mind. The first thing that I thought of is being unfair to my family. I got the chance to receive it first maybe because I am a hospital staff. It is not good reasoning though. I still have a chance to get the vaccination later but I will be paying for it then.
The main reason will be because I am afraid. I am the only one in the family that has a job and monthly salary. I am still full of debt and I do not want anything to happen to me that will cause chaos for my family. I am thinking of my little girl. It is a bit too much of thinking I guess but that is who I am.
I heard a lot of cases regarding the vaccination that elevates the fear inside of me. Well of course there is good news too.
Logically.
The vaccine is new. I have not read any research or study that said the vaccination work out well. Most of it was the bad side effects that others are having after the vaccination.
It is advisable to get the vaccination but then there are too many vaccinations exist and I am not sure which one is the best. Some said Pfizer is the one with fewer side effects and some said the other. We are offered the Pfizer vaccinations and some of my friends that already receive them have minor side effects like dizziness, painful arm, body ache, sleepiness and bitter taste in their throat. Some does not have any side effects and doing well. I guess it depends on the individual.
It is not bad.
I am not saying that vaccination is bad. It just that I do not have the courage to face the possible side effects.
It may be because I already have constant body ache in my thoracic region, my haemoglobin counts are very low which is currently 6.9 and I am having trouble consuming the iron tablets. It always causes me to be nausea, dizzy and trouble changing my position because it will aggravate nausea, those iron tablets.
I am afraid that it might make me become worst. I felt like I have a lot of responsibility in my hand. I want to be well enough until I have no more debt and my family can live with ease.
Will I be getting the vaccination?
Yes, I will once I am sure that it is safe.
It is not yet proven to be safe for everyone. Is it safe for those who have a cardiac problem, blood clotting disease, hypertension, diabetic, kidney problem, haemophilia and more?
I have not read anything about it yet. perhaps you know something?
Let me know in the comment sections below.
On our company, our manager advised us that we should get vaccinated. The reason is the vaccine is not easily supplied all over the world. It just covered 15% of the population around the world. And it can get through bidding. Like the Israel, 75% of their population got vaccinated because they won the bidding. They triple the price of Pfizer, so it was given to them. It is better to have prevention rather than nothing. Be grateful that Philippines can afford vaccine. Just sharing.
