Benefits of Getting a Covid-19 Vaccine

Have you received the Covid-19 vaccine? Or have you been vaccinated?
Or maybe even through it’s your turn, you are still not sure about the
vaccination? You don’t need to worry at all about Covid-19 vaccination
because, besides being safe, the Covid-19 vaccine can also provide many
benefits for you. Here are five benefits of Covid-19 vaccination that you
need to know.

First, vaccines can prevent covid-19 from infecting your body. We are
actually already familiar with vaccinations. Since childhood we have had
vaccinations and immunizations for various diseases. Vaccines are
currently available to protect against at least 20 diseases, such as
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles. According to WHO,
the presence of existing vaccines is estimated to have prevented 2 to 3
million deaths each year. Covid-19 vaccination can protect you by
creating antibodies or the immune system in the body to fight the SARS-
Cov-2 virus which causes The Covid-19 disease. With these antibodies,
your body will be trained to prevent and fight Covid-19 infection.
Vaccination is not a drug that completely cures Covid-19. However,
according to experts, even if you get Covid-19 after vaccination, the
vaccine will prevent your body from infection and the symptoms of Covid-
19, because your body now has a stronger body defence system.

Second, vaccines can help you protect those around you. When you are
vaccinated, you protect not only yourself but also your family and the
people around you. This is because not everyone can receive the Covid-19
vaccine. Currently, vaccines are only given to those who are healthy, do
not have any serious disease, are over 18 years of age, and other
requirements. Those who cannot be vaccinated rely on you who can be
vaccinated to reduce the spread of Covid-19. The more people get
vaccinated the less likely infected people pass disease.

Third, vaccines can protect and help health workers. Did you know that
the Covid-19 pandemic makes many hospitals burdened because of
limited facilities and resources? It is not surprising that many hospitals
reached their capacity to admit Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients.
Health workers who care for Covid-19 patients must endure wearing
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for an extended period to protect
them from Covid-19. With the advent of vaccines and more people getting
vaccinated, the infected people and the transmission rate will certainly
decrease. This reduces the burden on health workers and health facilities.
Health workers can dedicate their efforts, funds and equipment to helping
patients with severe symptoms or other diseases and preventing the
build-up of patients in the hospital.

Fourth, with vaccines, a pandemic can end soon. You definitely want the
pandemic to end soon, right? So now it is time! If you get vaccinated and
more people get vaccinated against Covid-19, there will be a greater self-
defence for so many people. This will encourage the formation of herd
immunity in which residents in certain areas are immune to a disease.
Herd immunity will break the chain of the Covid-19 pandemic as more
people get vaccinated. Of course, to stop a pandemic, all resources must
be mobilized as well as possible. Receiving vaccinations and maintaining
self-care by wearing a mask, keeping your distance and washing your
hands will optimize the likelihood that this pandemic will end soon.

Fifth, vaccines can protect future generations. By decreasing the rate of


Covid-19 infection and breaking the chain of the Covid-19 pandemic, you
can protect future generations from the long suffering of being infected
with this disease. This has been proven from historical records that have
taken place. In the past, there were many diseases caused by deadly
viruses, now we survive and live from the vaccination of the past
generations. So, this is the time for us to become the generation that
saves future generations from this dangerous Covid-19 disease and
makes the next generation even healthier. Are you one of the saviours?

The five benefits above are some of many benefits of getting vaccine.
There are indeed many other benefits of getting vaccine.
