Vaccines Are The Most Effective Way To Prevent Infectious Diseases

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases and reduce medical expenses. mRNA COVID-19 vaccines like Moderna and Pfizer have shown over 90% efficacy in clinical trials at preventing symptomatic disease and much higher efficacy at preventing hospitalization or death. Getting vaccinated is an ethical choice that protects one's own health as well as the broader population by helping to achieve herd immunity. However, those with a history of severe allergic reactions to vaccine ingredients have a valid medical reason to avoid vaccination and should still take precautions to prevent spread.

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases, serious illnesses, and medical

expenses. Once you receive your first shot, your body begins producing antibodies to the coronavirus.
These antibodies help your immune system fight the virus if you happen to be exposed, so it reduces
your chance of getting the disease.

As evidenced by studies showing that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), such as the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, reported greater than 90% efficacy in
the context of those trials, and all of those authorized for emergency use by the WHO and currently
being monitored in the general population, reported efficacies of greater than 50% for the prevention of
symptomatic disease, and much higher efficacies for the prevention of hospitalizations or death

Vaccinations are ethical because they are the moral thing to conduct from a medical point of view.
Getting a vaccine COVID-19 vaccine will ensure not only your safety but also the well-being of the
broader population. It is also a popular misconception that COVID-19 vaccines can spread the virus
because people receiving shots can still become sick but as more people are vaccinated, those risks are
decreased even further due to a phenomenon called herd immunity.

Most people now live in the new normal due to vaccines. It is a requirement since it protects
other individuals. The requirement that peoples maintain existing vaccinations has been lifted.
Vaccination protects not only the person from COVID-19 but also other people with whom one
comes into contact. Also, protects the community by evoking "herd immunity" when a certain
number of the population is vaccinated.
People are being skeptical about accepting vaccines because of ignorance and lack of
information that can lead to refusing the COVID- 19 vaccination.
The refusal of COVID-19 vaccination is unethical because it can increase the number of
fatalities. There are additional potential side effects related to vaccine hesitancy. As well as
increasing the risk of infection for themselves and others, people who decide at the last minute
not to get vaccinated increase the wastage of vaccine doses which most often must be used on
the day; thus, they can deny or delay a vaccine dose to others who could have had it sooner.
Each case of delayed vaccination also increases (marginally) the risk of another wave of COVID
and of the risk that a new variant will arise in the population.
On the other hand, people who have a medical condition can refuse vaccination. According
to World Health Organization, people have a history of severe allergic reactions/anaphylaxis to
any of the ingredients of the COVID-19 vaccine, in order to avoid possible adverse effects. In
this instance, individuals must wear face masks and follow safety protocols to prevent the virus
from spreading, which is ethically correct.
Because of immunizations, most people now live in the new normal. It is required because it protects
other people. The need that people keep their current vaccines has been removed.

Vaccination protects not only the person from COVID-19, but also other people with whom one comes
into contact, and also protects the community by evoking "herd immunity" when a certain number of
the population is vaccinated.
