What are the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine?
Stop you from getting COVID-19 or from becoming seriously ill or dying due to COVID-19, It also stops you from spreading the COVID-19 virus to others.
Herd immunity ( is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that can occur with some diseases when a sufficient percentage of a population has become immune to an infection, whether through vaccination or previous infections, thereby reducing the likelihood of infection for individuals who lack immunity.)
These are the Top 5 COVID 19 VACCINES with good reviews!
Dosage - 2 doses (21 days apart)
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is an mRNA vaccine, which uses genetic material known as messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the virus's spike protein (S protein) to stimulate the immune system against the novel coronavirus. The two-injection vaccine works in both young and old trial volunteers. The upper limit of how long immunity will last is not clear; however, available research suggests protection from COVID-19 may last a year or longer.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is 95% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus with symptoms in people age 16 and older. The vaccine is 100% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus in children ages 12 through 15.
Dosage - 2 doses (28 days apart)
The U.K. authorized the vaccine for emergency use based on prior phase III trials in the U.K. and other countries. Dozens of other countries are also administering the AstraZeneca vaccine, but the U.S. has not authorized it for emergency use. Similar to the Janssen/J&J COVID-19 vaccine, there is a link between life-threatening blood clots occurring within two weeks of AZD1222 vaccination, as reported by the European Medicines Agency (equivalent to the U.S. FDA). This adverse event is very rare—222 cases reported out of 34 million people vaccinated across Europe and the U.K.—but some cases have been fatal.
Dosage - 2 doses (28 days apart)
The U.S. biotechnology company Moderna is developing RNA vaccines in cooperation with NIAD and moved the first COVID-19 vaccine into a human clinical trial in March. The Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine was 94.5% effective at preventing COVID-19 in the phase III clinical trial with 30,000 volunteers. Of the 95 cases of COVID-19, 90 occurred in the placebo group and 5 occurred in the mRNA-1273 group.
Eleven cases were severe, and all occurred in the placebo group. The Moderna vaccine blocks viral infection as well, and the vaccine is 90% effective in real-world conditions. The U.S. government is paying for 200 million doses of the Moderna vaccine, which is authorized for people age 18 and older
Dosage - 1 dose or 2 doses (56 days apart)
In clinical trials, this vaccine was 66% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus with symptoms — as of 14 days after vaccination. The vaccine also was 85% effective at preventing severe disease with the COVID-19 virus — at least 28 days after vaccination. This vaccine is for people age 18 and older. It requires one injection.
The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended that use of this vaccine continue in the U.S. because the benefits outweigh the risks. If you are given this vaccine, you should be educated about the possible risks and symptoms of a blood clotting problem.
#5 Sinovac Life Sciences
Dosage - 2 doses (28 days apart)
A large phase 3 trial in Brazil showed that two doses, administered at an interval of 14 days, had an efficacy of 51% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, 100% against severe COVID-19, and 100% against hospitalization starting 14 days after receiving the second dose. In an observational study, the estimated effectiveness of Sinovac-CoronaVac in health workers in Manaus, Brazil, where P.1 accounted for 75% of SARS-CoV-2 samples was 49.6% against symptomatic infection (4). Effectiveness has also been shown in an observational study in Sao Paulo in the presence of P1 circulation (83% of samples).
Possible Side Effects After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine
These side effects are normal signs that your body is
building protection and should go away within a few days. You can take
these medications to relieve post-vaccination side effects if you have no other
medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally.
COVID-19 vaccines can cause mild side effects after
the first or second dose, including:
- Pain,
redness or swelling where the shot was given
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle
pain
- Chills
- Joint
pain
- Nausea
and vomiting
- Swollen
lymph nodes
Most side effects happen within the first three days after vaccination and typically last only 1 to 2 days.
Misinformation or distrust of vaccines can be like a contagion that can spread as fast as Covid19, Without equity, pandemic battles will fail. Viruses will simply recirculate, and perhaps undergo mutations or changes that render vaccines useless, passing through the unprotected populations of the planet.
Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving.
