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.
