COVID 19 VACCINE: A RAINBOW AT THE END OF THE RAIN
“There’s always a rainbow at the end
of the rain”, at least that’s how most would phrase it; it has been almost officially
2 years since we have undergone rigorous lockdowns. Many things have changed ever
since covid-19, hast it? Our lifestyles have changed, our habits, routines. Honestly it felt like all the 2 years went by so
fast yet so slow. It has been extremely difficult for most of us, especially
for our mental well-being. But as what I quoted a while ago, there’s a rainbow
in the end of the rain, as vaccines becoming available, it has shed down
rays of hope for all of us.
The first batched of covid-19
vaccines was first given to the frontliners, adults and senior citizens. But, In
the later part of 2021, vaccines for ages 12-17 were available in the
Philippines. And earlier this year, COVID-19 Immunizations were as well
available for children aged 5 to 11. This gave us even more hope to slowly go
back to normal. Some schools are now conducting face-to-face classes, while
also practicing the health protocols of course, and more establishments opening.
But of course, there are some but included, don’t overestimate the power
of the vaccines. There are still some that already got the vaccine doses and
still got infected with the covid-19 virus.
Overall, vaccines are important
because it lessens our risk from the covid-19 virus and gives protection to our
immune system. But even if we are already vaccinated doesn’t mean we are safe
from the virus. We should still practice health protocols.
