Topic: Covid-19 vaccination becoming a criteria to live in the world (Read 1026 times)

Then get the needed booster after 5 months, problem solved. Doesn't matter was vaccines you got, as long as you have the protection against covid and it's variants, it's better as compare to not getting any vaccine at all because you don't want to. So there's no advantage or disadvantage, I'm sure the government are more willing or if getting a booster will cost some money, then do it. Now kids are the next demographics to be vaccinated (age 12-17) and hopefully it will be roll out in the coming months, so that when they go face to face in school, they are protected. Or this could be mandated by any schools and universities before allowing any students to go again in schools.

Fake news isn't the only reason vaccinations don't go well. lack of public awareness about the importance of vaccination is another cause of not going well vaccination. the government must actively provide education about the importance of vaccination so that everyone knows how important vaccination is.

My country is also going that way, to get public services, citizens must be vaccinated, now we have entered the second stage of vaccination, although there are many obstacles but the government's goal by vaccinating is to protect its citizens so that they are immediately free and immune from covid.

I think all countries nowadays have made vaccines a requirement for normal life. but the time to reach 70% each country is different because the population and the level of public awareness of a country are different. in the area where I live vaccinations are going very slowly because most people in my area are affected by fake news about vaccinations.

I just received my 2nd dose of Moderna a few hours ago and I’ll have to wait 2 more weeks before declared fully vaccinated. I’m gonna expect some mild symptoms later or tomorrow such as fever/chills, fatigue, weakness, body pain, soreness of the injected part, etc. I also got a free upsize of the frappe drink I’ve ordered as I have presented my vaccination proof card.

In my 1st dose a month ago, I did experienced these symptoms but only lasted for a day. It means that my antibodies are responding well, and I expect that I will experience the same thing later or so. I had no problem getting a rest for a while.

Yes I know this is pure marketing stuff for most businesses and companies to encourage us to get vaccinated. Although that it’s not mandatory for us to get vaccinated here in the Philippines, it’s just that this is the reality now of being vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

At first, I was hesitant because of the side effects of these vaccines, especially the blood clot cases in Astrazeneca. But I am more scared of Delta variant as it’s the dominant one right here in the Philippines. Even healthy and younger ones have died of COVID-19 due to being unvaccinated compared to their parents who are at their senior level.

Even if I catch the COVID-19 virus, I won’t get hospitalized because the vaccine prevents me from getting a severe condition. Got no problem being quarantined or isolated as long I’m not getting a severe condition.

My travel requirements would be lessen thanks to the COVID-19 vaccination card, if I wanted to travel somewhere for business or work purposes.

The same story.. people opposed to vaccination getting infected. Now after two years, they should have known about the truth. Billions have been vaccinated till now and hardly any one is suffering from the side effects. But the propaganda against vaccine is still being spread. Even now, I receive WhatsApp messages once in a while. They claim that if you take the vaccine, then you may end up impotent. Some messages claim that even if you get infected with COVID, you should not get admitted to hospitals. They claim that organs are being stolen from COVID patients. Unfortunately a lot of people believe these unsubstantiated rumors.

My acquaintances fell ill. The whole family - husband, wife, child (my godson, now we support him, because he lives alone), mother-in-law ... The whole family was opposed to vaccinations, protective masks, and believed that Covid-19 is all a world conspiracy and vaccination = microchipping for remote control by people (!!!). It would be funny if it weren't sad. The mother-in-law, who said that all this is a conspiracy of the imperialists, and that everything is treated with herbs, is in intensive care with a very bad prognosis. The child (14 years old) is the easiest to endure, but his condition is not very good. Husband and wife (48-50 years old) are in the hospital, the condition is of moderate severity. But they knew about all the world conspiracies ...

In addition, scientists and researchers have also found that there is a possible link between the Pfizer vaccine and heart problems myocarditis.
This side effect of the Pfizer vaccine tends to affect men ages 16 to 30, but the risk is higher between the ages of 16 and 19.
but even so, Pfizer said in a statement that it was aware of the researchers' observations of cases of myocarditis and said there was no causal link with the vaccine.
but still this is one of the things that makes it happen

The problem with Pfizer is that the efficacy of the vaccine wanes after 5-6 months. A recent study found that the efficacy of Pfizer reduces to just 42%, after five months (compared to this, Moderna fares much better and it has a 76% efficacy after 5 months). Then you need to get a booster dose to remain protected against COVID. This is one of the disadvantages for mRNA vaccines, when compared to Non-Replicating Viral Vector types. On the other hand, the overall efficacy of vaccines like AstraZeneca (AZD1222) may be lower, but they offer protection for a much longer duration.  

Got my 2nd dose today with pfizer. Here in my place there are lot of discounts in every store like there are gasoline stations that has discounts in every liter you purchase for vacinnated person. There are also few restaurants. I think private sectors are getting or pushing people to get vaccinated

Covid-19 vaccination has been a crucial process for us to be able to live normally in the world. Without vaccination, we will be open for any kind of threat and we will endanger other people also. And this vaccination process has a critical role in the economy of a country too. Because thanks to the vaccination, people are able to go back to their workplaces and continue to produce and develop things more effectively. And this will help the country to get close to its usual process too.

Many countries have made mandatory vaccination as the main condition so that people can return to normal activities and vaccinate to achieve herd immunity, these countries are France, Italy and the United States, I think in the near future this policy will be implemented in all countries so that no options other than vaccination.

It's not really impossible for countries to later require covid-19 vaccines to their citizens to be able to do the things they are used to doing prior to the pandemic. Right now, every country has a specific target population to achieve herd immunity from the virus. I think if their targeted population won't be achieved by the time they have set, it's possible for them to impose mandatory vaccination for every individual. Although maybe this would be enclosed to those people who have jobs and maybe for the students. Who knows? The government of each country is to decide for that. We just have to wait like we always do. Hopefully, we will overcome this just like other countries that are back to normal now.

With the original strain, it was OK to remain unvaccinated. It had a mortality rate of around 0.1% for those who are below 50 years of age (those without comorbidities). But the delta and other strains have changed the situation. The mortality rate for the elderly remains the same as it was before. But for younger people, it has increased by 50x to 100x, from 0.1% to somewhere between 5% to 10% (these numbers are based on my study on the data from India). So I would request everyone, irrespective of their age to get vaccinated.

The vaccination is becoming a criteria indeed and it must be also. Without vaccines, the probability of being taken into intensive care is rising very quickly. Because in that case, our immune system is having a big difficulty in fighting against the virus. And we have even deadlier variants now. We have no choice other than being vaccinated if we care about our life. There is no meaning in being anti-vaxxer.

No vaccine can be 100% effective against virus, because it mutates so rapidly. And in case of vaccines against COVID 19, some of the vaccines have reported efficacy of 95% to 97%. This is as good as it gets. Even I would have liked a vaccine that is 100% effective. But since that is not available, we need to go with the best available alternative. At least during the initial phases, a lot of people were taking this pandemic lightly. I personally heard from some that the virus is similar to common cold. But I am sure that their opinions could have changed, after almost 4.7 million individuals died from it.

It is recommended that we get vaccinated in order to prevent the virus from spreading and mutating. It's terrifying for a virus to have multiple variants because we can't know if the vaccine we're using now is still effective, and if it isn't, we'll have to develop a new one, which may be more difficult for our bodies and have potentially dangerous side effects. I was initially hesitant to get vaccinated since we were unsure about it, but it appears that we must do so as soon as possible because the virus is also acting quickly.

Even now vaccine is must for all adults in most of the countries and many already adopting this very quickly because now space is going too tight for them those are living without this vaccine but few doubts still around the world about vaccine result because I read in few countries many peoples facing this virus even they have vaccine.

We are also had very stuck policy about this now percentage is rising for vaccinated peoples because you are not able to do anything without vaccine so peoples going to this even they are not satisfied or feeling good about this all.

Virus mutation is dangerous and there is recorded cases already of lambda variant which is resistant to vaccine and hopefully people should consider that to make their belief shift and take those vaccine as early as now before anything happen so that we will not see more mutation and achieve the goal. But unfortunately many are hard headed believing on hoax if they continue to act like this maybe we cannot end up faster on this miserable life what we experiencing these days.

The more a virus mutates, the more contagious it becomes, however, when that occurs, it usually becomes less deadly. Vaccines still work with the Delta variant, but let's keep in mind that their development started approximately in March, based on the original virus, before new strains started appearing. The virus has taken several twists since then, thus, it's pretty normal that their efficacy has been reduced.
