Finally, Got Vaccinated

I still remember those times when the vaccines for Covid19 has been released. Everyone is scared to be vaccinated due to not so good outcomes on others who got their first shot of vaccines.

We can see from the news wherein they say that someone died after getting vaccinated. A lot of negative humors about the different kinds of vaccines. Every vaccines seem to have negative presumptions. So, due to negative humors, it triggers a lot of us to have our vaccination, too scared enough if what will happen to us after being vaccinated.

So, as an employee working on an essential line of business, we are one of the priorities to be vaccinated first. Our HR department started distributing forms for each of us last March 2021. I only did write my name and those personal details in the form. And when I am now in the part wherein there is a question wherein if I wanted to be vaccinated or not, I stopped writing. I just can not even decide that time if I want or not. Huge part of me is scared but the other part says "I need to be vaccinated to be protected and to have a less chance to be infected of Covid19"

I asked my workmates if they wanted to be vaccinated, almost of all them do not want. But I have this friend on my mine who wanted to be vaccinated, back then we preferred SINOVAC to be our vaccine. And we finally decided to be vaccinated.

On the day of our vaccinated, they announced that the only available vaccine is AstraZeneca, I got scared, me and my friend backed out because during this time, the issue about blood clotting is trending.

After how many months, September 2nd week, the online application for essential workers were opened, me and my friend talked about it and there we finally decided to be vaccinated. We applied online Sept. 15, and got our first shot last Sept 17.

A while ago was my second dose, and now I am fully vaccinated. I am proud that I got vaccinated already.

Being vaccinated will not mean that we have no chances of getting Covid19, rather it means just in case we will be infected, the effect is not worst, it maybe just mild.

Just be honest during the screenings because before you will get vaccinated, there will be screenings wherein they will see if you are safe to be vaccinated or not.

If you have cough, fever, colds or anything that is related to the symptoms of Covid19, just tell them. Even if you only have one symptoms, they will not allow you to be vaccinated since your immune system during that time is weak, and when you will get vaccinated, your body might not take it since your immune system is weak during that time. We will never know if what will happen when you got vaccinated when you have this kind of symptoms.

Yes, we are not forced to be vaccinated. You maybe is afraid to be vaccinated but which is more scary, to be vaccinated or to be infected with Covid19 without any protection?

Prevention is always better than cure. We should be protected.

What is the most effective vaccine?

As they say, if what is the avaible vaccine just be vaccinated. You do not need to choose to whatever you want not unless you are a person with righ risk of being infected such as those persons who have asthma, pneumonia etc. Just bring supporting documents that you have those kind of illness and there they will give you a vaccine that is good for you.

But if you are planning to go abroad, just do not agree if they will give you Sinovac since if you are vaccinated with this, there are countries who will not allow people to enter their country if they are vaccinated with Sinovac. It saddens me that there are discrimanations in the vaccines but who are we to blame them? That's there country, just abide with their rules.

Be vaccinated, be protected.

But not because you are vaccinated, you will no longer take extra precautions, always still have extra care, wear facemask / faceshield when you are going out, always maintain social distancing. Always bring with you your alcohol.

And if you are not yet vaccinated, be more careful about yourself. No one will push you to be vaccinated, it is always be yourself to decide if you will be vaccinated or not. Just have more extra care.
