I'd say that it is advisable to take the vaccine. This is a very sad year and I've lost a dear family member to Covid and many of my kith and kin have got affected by this disease. Friends as well. So many deaths because of this. So, the situation is not good. If this insane situation is to end then a total 70% to 80% of the world population needs to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. Already there are new variants of this sickness coming up. To nip this in the bud, you have to get vaccinated. So many people's lives and livelihood are affected by this disease.
Please keep an Oximeter at home. You can youtube search on how to use it to check oxygen levels. If you feel feverish, please take care that you don't catch a cold as well. The patients at home have to distance themselves from other family members and isolate themselves, their plates, clothes, everything in case they are being treated for Covid at home. Things have gone worse for people I know in such situations as well.
The doctors and nurses have their hands full combating this sickness and many have died because of this. And there are possibilities of third and even fourth waves of Covid.
I've taken the first dose along with my family and I will take the second dose as well when the time comes for that. Please everyone, wear masks and social distance. This Covid19 disease kills lives. Take care of yourselves and your family and take protective and precautionary measures.
For those who have no other choice but to head into everyday work, please take the vaccine. If not, at least social distance yourselves and wear a face mask at least until this is over.
In the cases I've seen among people I know, they got it because of being negligent and not doing any of the above mentioned preventive measures. The vaccine has helped people I know survive Covid after they got Covid.
It's been bad here in India. Lack of hospital beds for patients. Lockdowns which take a toll on the economy and livelihood of people. Lack of adequate vaccines to vaccinate the people.
Last but most importantly, have faith in God that He is going to guide you through this difficult time and keep you and your family safe from all sicknesses and disease, including Covid19.
May God bless us all and keep us safe.
