نص القصة المصورة
- Hi Sarah! I didn't see you at all yesterday! Where were you?
- I headed to my office to fix something. After that, I went straight over to the clinic to get my COVID-19 vaccine.
- You got your vaccine?! Were you scared?
- I was a little nervous at first, but the doctor said that taking deep breaths is a simple way to calm down before getting a shot. The needle is going into my muscle so tensing my arm can lead to more pain.
- I learned from Dr. Soriano that the COVID-19 vaccines are very safe and useful at keeping us from getting the virus. The vaccines are tested very carefully to make sure they are effective.
- But these vaccines are so new! Are they safe?
- The doctor also told me that vaccines may cause side effects. I might have a sore arm, get tired, have chills or a mild fever. However, these won’t last long— just a few days—and it’s a sign that the vaccine is working!
- Ohh really? It's great to know that COVID-19 vaccine are safe and effective. And maybe, side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection.
- Wait—why are you still wearing a mask after getting the vaccine?
- A lot of people are thinking that once they get vaccinated, they're not going to wear masks anymore. However, we need to keep wearing masks because we could still be contagious.
- For now, it’s important to keep using all the tools we have. There is still that chance that we could be a vector and put other unvaccinated individuals at risk. That's why it's important to continue behaviors like mask-wearing and social distancing.
- So true. I think I also need to get vaccinated for COVID-19 to protect my self and others. Thank you Sarah for sharing your experience and knowledge about COVID-19 vaccine.
