Completed full vaccination - What's Next

 

So finally I am done with the 2nd vaccination (Moderna).  I don't feel anything on the 1st jab. The 2nd jab was kind of a bit more dramatic in the sense that within a day after the 2nd jab I began to experience arm sore and cold shiver throughout the night.  Took fast acting Panadol every 4 hours to help reduce the pain on the arm (don't really help though). 

After 48 hours the  side effect symptoms were completely gone.

Some folks I knew didn't experience cold sweat , fever or extreme pain in the arm after the 2nd Moderna jab. I guess it depends on individual immune system.

From psychological perspective, having completed the full vaccination kind of give me a little bit more confidence and assurance  that I will not kaput so easily should I got myself expose to the virus again.  

It's interesting to note that the USA CDC mentioned no need to wear mask after full vaccination. I think this is the worst advice ever since there are plenty of real life cases to prove that people can still succumb to infection even after full vaccination.

No one knows for sure how long before we need jab against new strain of virus. I bet we will need to get booster shots down the road. So how I feel about the whole vaccination stuffs? Well, I probably go for new shots if the need arise.  

 Making Sense Of This World

So here we are almost 2 months into the middle of year and no light at the end of the tunnel as far as the global pandemic is concern. Surely and yes, there are vaccines available for mankind however, no one is safe unless everyone is safe.

Speaking of the covid-19 vaccine, there are still lingering doubts of the efficacy and safety as evident by the temporary suspension of Astra Zenecca & J&J vaccines by some countries.  The number of side effect cases are still relatively low compare to the number of those who take the jab. But hey, you never know if you end up as being one of the 0.01% population that react negatively to these vaccines...

The way it goes, there is high probability this virus is going to stay put for a very long time and we probably has to accept the fact it is here to stay for good. Perhaps and hopefully our body will adapt to these virus and produce natural immune defense to overcome it. 

Lets hope we humankind stay ahead of the race to combat future virus , heck even the covid-19 virus mutates continuously so we need to be responsible to be vigilant in social distancing and wearing mask.

Speaking of mask, it really boggles me as to why some people find it so difficult to put it on when they are in public places. There are those who put on the mask but does so in the wrong way!. What is the use of wearing a mask if it covers only your mouth while exposing your nostril? It is like wearing you pants below the knee cap. What the #$%

Okay, I am scheduled to receive my 1st jab of Moderna vaccine this month. Hopefully I don't end up with serious side effects and end up being crazy like Madonna singing erratically 'Boys just wanna have fun'

Lets all pray we human work together to combat and win the war against covid-19 and be prepared for the next pandemic. Stay safe everyone
