Covid-19 Vaccination: My thoughts
**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.

What I can tell you with that vaccine is that nothing that happens to people who are vaccinated is good. Anything can happen to you because each individual is independent in his or her form of self-defense. You can have a deep vein thrombosis, suffer from hypertension, have migraines, etc. and everything will be normal. I don't blame you for not wanting to get vaccinated. I personally don't want to inject myself either until the tests are truly definitive as vaccines with few sequelae. So much care to get vaccinated and lose my life... I don't sympathize at all.
What type of vaccine is your country receiving?
No vaccine has arrived yet, thank God. But I imagine they will give us the worst they have. There is no interest in the community here. The whole thing is to maintain power no matter what.
Is everyone doing well there? How is the infection rates?
We have a dictatorial government, their mugs are fake because they manipulate them. They change the data to the doctors who pass morbidity and mortality. What they say is always lies. Now the doctors and all the personnel have no clothes for their personal protection. Possible cases of covid with respiratory distress are sent home without being evaluated. As they did to my brother. Then flus, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and others, the doctors prefer not to treat them so as not to catch them. Mortality is very high in young and old people who are not attended to because they die at home. And the covid cases die everywhere every day and sent to cremation immediately. What data are we going to have like this?
That is bad. Those patient needs oxygen support at least to hold on and perhaps some pain killer until the symptom subsides.
