Learn Analytical Exposition from the following text.Benefits of Getting a Covid-19 Vaccine
Have you received the Covid-19 vaccine? Or have you been vaccinated? Or maybe even through it's your turn, you are still not sure about the vaccination? You don't need to worry at all about Covid-19 vaccination because, besides being safe, the Covid-19 vaccine can also provide many benefits for you. Here are five benefits of Covid-19 vaccination that you need to know.
First, vaccines can prevent covid-19 from infecting your body. We are actually already familiar with vaccinations. Since childhood we have had vaccinations and immunizations for various diseases. Vaccines are currently available to protect against at least 20 diseases, such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles. According to WHO, the presence of existing vaccines is estimated to have prevented 2 to 3 million deaths each year. Covid-19 vaccination can protect you by creating antibodies or the immune system in the body to fight the SARS-Cov-2 virus which causes The Covid-19 disease. With these antibodies, your body will be trained to prevent and fight Covid-19 infection. Vaccination is not a drug that completely cures Covid-19. However, according to experts, even if you get Covid-19 after vaccination, the vaccine will prevent your body from infection and the symptoms of Covid-19, because your body now has a stronger body defense system.
Second, vaccines can help you protect those around you. When you are vaccinated, you protect not only yourself but also your family and the people around you. This is because not everyone can receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Currently, vaccines are only given to those who are healthy, do not have any serious disease, are over 18 years of age, and other requirements. Those who cannot be vaccinated rely on you who can be vaccinated to reduce the spread of Covid-19. The more people get vaccinated the less likely infected people pass disease.
Third, vaccines can protect and help health workers. Did you know that the Covid-19 pandemic makes many hospitals burdened because of limited facilities and resources? It is not surprising that many hospitals reached their capacity to admit Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients. Health workers who care for Covid-19 patients must endure wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for an extended period to protect them from Covid-19. With the advent of vaccines and more people getting vaccinated, the infected people and the transmission rate will certainly decrease. This reduces the burden on health workers and health facilities. Health workers can dedicate their efforts, funds and equipment to helping patients with severe symptoms or other diseases and preventing the build-up of patients in the hospital.
Fourth, with vaccines, a pandemic can end soon. You definitely want the pandemic to end soon, right? So now it is time! If you get vaccinated and more people get vaccinated against Covid-19, there will be a greater self-defense for so many people. This will encourage the formation of herd immunity in which residents in certain areas are immune to a disease. Herd immunity will break the chain of the Covid-19 pandemic as more people get vaccinated. Of course, to stop a pandemic, all resources must be mobilized as well as possible. Receiving vaccinations and maintaining self-care by wearing a mask, keeping your distance and washing your hands will optimize the likelihood that this pandemic will end soon.
Fifth, vaccines can protect future generations. By decreasing the rate of Covid-19 infection and breaking the chain of the Covid-19 pandemic, you can protect future generations from the long suffering of being infected with this disease. This has been proven from historical records that have taken place. In the past, there were many diseases caused by deadly viruses, now we survive and live from the vaccination of the past generations. So, this is the time for us to become the generation that saves future generations from this dangerous Covid-19 disease and makes the next generation even healthier. Are you one of the saviours?
The five benefits above are some of many benefits of getting a vaccine. There are indeed many other benefits of getting a vaccine.
