Hello Everyone,
We're back again this time with some life hacks & tools
which you can use to make your life easier and safer.
As we all know that today the whole world is in the midst of
a COVID-19 pandemic. As WHO and partners work together on the response --
tracking the pandemic, advising on critical interventions, distributing vital
medical supplies to those in need--- they are racing to develop and deploy safe
and effective vaccines.
Vaccines save millions of lives each year. Vaccines work by
training and preparing the body’s natural defences – the immune system – to
recognize and fight off the viruses and bacteria they target. After
vaccination, if the body is later exposed to those disease-causing germs, the
body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing illness.
There are several safe and effective vaccines that prevent
people from getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. This is one part of
managing COVID-19, in addition to the main preventive measures of staying at
least 1 metre away from others, covering a cough or sneeze in your elbow,
frequently cleaning your hands, wearing a mask and avoiding poorly ventilated
rooms or opening a window.
In India, we are having 3 vaccines – Covaxin, Covishield and Sputnik V.
All these 3 vaccines are
very effective against covid’19.
Take whatever vaccine is made available to you first, even
if you have already had COVID-19. It is important to be vaccinated as soon as
possible once it’s your turn and not wait. Approved COVID-19 vaccines provide a
high degree of protection against getting seriously ill and dying from the
disease, although no vaccine is 100% protective.
WHO SHOULD GET
VACCINATED ?
The COVID-19 vaccines are safe for most people 18 years and
older, including those with pre-existing conditions of any kind, including
auto-immune disorders. These conditions include: hypertension, diabetes,
asthma, pulmonary, liver and kidney disease, as well as chronic infections that
are stable and controlled.
If supplies are
limited in your area, discuss your situation with your care provider if you:
Have a compromised immune system
Are pregnant (if you are already breastfeeding, you should
continue after vaccination)
Have a history of severe allergies, particularly to a
vaccine (or any of the ingredients in the vaccine)
Are severely frail
Children should not be vaccinated for the moment.
There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines
against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be
vaccinated against COVID-19. Children and adolescents tend to have milder
disease compared to adults. However, children should continue to have the
recommended childhood vaccines.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AND
EXPECT AFTER GETTING VACCINATED ?
Stay at the place where you get vaccinated for at least 15
minutes afterwards, just in case you have an unusual reaction, so health
workers can help you.
Check when you should come in for a second dose – if needed.
Most of the vaccines available are two-dose vaccines. Check with your care
provider whether you need to get a second dose and when you should get it.
Second doses help boost the immune response and strengthen immunity.
In most cases, minor side effects are normal. Common side
effects after vaccination, which indicate that a person's body is building protection
to COVID-19 infection include:
Arm soreness
Mild fever
Tiredness
Headaches
Muscle or joint aches
Contact your care provider if there is redness or tenderness
(pain) where you got the shot that increases after 24 hours, or if side effects
do not go away after a few days.
If you experience an immediate severe allergic reaction to a
first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, you should not receive additional doses of
the vaccine. It’s extremely rare for severe health reactions to be directly
caused by vaccines.
Taking painkillers such as paracetamol before receiving the
COVID-19 vaccine to prevent side effects is not recommended. This is because it
is not known how painkillers may affect how well the vaccine works. However,
you may take paracetamol or other painkillers if you do develop side effects
such as pain, fever, headache or muscle aches after vaccination.
Even after you’re vaccinated, keep taking precautions
While a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent serious illness and
death, we still don’t know the extent to which it keeps you from being infected
and passing the virus on to others. The more we allow the virus to spread, the
more opportunity the virus has to change.
Continue to take actions to slow and eventually stop the
spread of the virus:
Keep at least 1 metre from others
Wear a mask, especially in crowded, closed and poorly
ventilated settings.
Clean your hands frequently
Cover any cough or sneeze in your bent elbow
When indoors with others, ensure good ventilation, such as
by opening a window
Doing it all protects us all.
