Since the vaccine has been invented for Covid 19 (not one several of them), I’ve been in a dilemma like millions of other people in the world, well, at least thousands of them, whether to have it or not. There was an unexplained fear, either about the side effects than the effects or the fact that it was developed too quickly. It can be easily justified too, because the origin of Covid19 itself is mysterious to this point, even though people make their hypothesis on what might have happened.
So after a lot of confusion and second thoughts and probably more thoughts, yesterday morning out of the blue, I decided to get my vaccine. Being a frontline worker, sometimes things become a necessity than a choice, which is reasonable. If we think about it, most of the vaccines we took in childhood, our parents didn’t doubt whatsoever for us to have it. Because they only thought about our health and well being. There was no room for doubt then. Even after growing up, I could remember having Hepatitis B, and H1N1 vaccines, but then, I never seem to doubt the efficacy of either of them. This time until the moment the nurse stick the needle on my left deltoid, I was in doubt, do I or do I not?
But I realise, it is pointless thinking about it or worrying too much, this is a conscious decision we have to make, at least bearing in mind about those people who may be affected by us, be it our family, our friends, our colleagues or whoever is under our care. I remember the week in January when my colleagues and I were contracted with the virus, had the most number of deaths since the pandemic started in the UK (probably due to the new variant). After surviving through those 🔟 days of my life, I think it is worth the risk to try the vaccine to see if it helps.
We have been holding it too long; our hands and hearts are getting exhausted; this has to stop. For how long could we live the insecurities of being controlled by a piece of protein🙄? So let’s get vaccinated and save lives.
