WHO Tweeted That 3 Billion People Have Not Received A Single Dose Of Covid-19 Vaccine

Covid-19 is a deadly virus and has already mastered its spread. The only we can protect ourselves is through proper precautions and vaccination. Getting vaccinated could save your life. COVID-19 vaccines provide strong protection against serious illness, hospitalization, and death. There is also some evidence that being vaccinated will make it less likely that you will pass the virus on to others, which means your decision to get the vaccine also protects those around you.

WHO recommends that while vaccine supply is limited, the people at highest risk of COVID-19 are vaccinated first. This includes people who are more likely to get severe disease if they are infected (older persons and people with existing health conditions) and people who are more likely to be exposed to the virus (such as health workers). People who are pregnant have a higher risk of serious illness and preterm birth if they are infected with COVID-19, so WHO recommends that they are also prioritized for vaccination, once the first priority groups have been vaccinated. Children and adolescents above 5 years of age with comorbidities that put them at significantly higher risk of serious COVID-19 may be offered vaccination alongside other high priority groups.

The World Health Organisation tweeted that 3 billion people have still not received a single dose of covid-19, which means 1 out of 3 people globally is yet to get vaccinated. This can be because of various undefined reasons like lack of awareness and trust, fear of losing natural immunity, scared of the side effects of the vaccine, or people may not have access only. But many people who get vaccinated often think that they don’t need to follow the protocol anymore as they are ‘safe’ against the virus.

Even after getting vaccinated, keep taking precautions to protect yourself, family, friends, and anyone else you may come into contact with. COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, but some people will still get ill from COVID-19 after vaccination. There is also still a chance that you could also pass the virus on to others who are not vaccinated. Stay at least 1 meter away from other people, wear a properly fitted mask over your nose and mouth when you can’t keep this distance, avoid poorly ventilated places and settings, clean your hands frequently, stay home if unwell and get tested, and stay informed about how much virus is circulating in the areas where you travel, live and work.

Over To You:
The vaccine is an armor against the life-threatening virus and everyone must be vaccinated for the safety of their own and the people around.
