The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way for us to be able to control the pandemic. If more people get the vaccine, the number of cases can significantly go down, and we can better control the spread of the virus.
The vaccines available in the Philippines are effective, and have been proven to lower the risk of severe COVID-19. In addition, the vaccines underwent through all the processes of clinical trials, which means that they are perfectly safe3.
Being vaccinated also lowers the risk that you would be infected with the virus. The fewer people get infected, the less the load there would be on our health system. It also means that cases can be better treated, and people can be immediately isolated if they do get infected4.
Herd immunity is another benefit if majority of the population get the vaccine. Herd immunity can provide protection to the most vulnerable members of the population, and also helps us control the spread of the disease5.
This is why it is important to get the vaccine as soon as you have the opportunity.
