Do you know what and for what the vaccine is? Have you ever been vaccinated for covid-19 disease?
If not yet, why? Is it because you are afraid of needles or are you afraid that there may be side effects?
Vaccine or “bakuna” in Tagalog is a product that stimulates a person's immune system. Vaccines are
usually given by needle injections but they can also be given by capsule or spray. 5

The issue of vaccines is a complex one. It's about those people who don't trust the process of
vaccination. They thought that it might cause another disease. The controversy is the people who
don’t want to get vaccinated. Most people are vaccinated because others are convinced and also for
their safety so that they will not be infected with the disease. But on the other side, most people are
not vaccinated or have not been vaccinated because they are afraid that there may be side effects or
they may become zombies in the future. Most people don’t believe in the vaccine today, because of its
sudden labor and they do not know what its contents are and they don’t know what the consequences
will be when they inject it. Many are also worried about what the ingredients are in making this
vaccine so they are very afraid to get vaccinated with it. 7

The vaccine is needed now, especially nowadays but some people still do not believe and do not want
to get vaccinated because they are afraid of whatever will happen once it is injected into their body.
Some people do not believe in this vaccine because they said it may not be good for the human body.
Maybe it can cause side effects. I have noticed that many more have not been vaccinated because they
are afraid that something bad might happen to them but it is good for their safety, they just have to
believe in this process that the vaccine will be good and that the vaccine is good for everyone. 4

Most of the people have been vaccinated, but why haven't the others been vaccinated? Why don't they
get vaccinated? That's for their good. A reason why the vaccine is really good for their health is
because it is to defend our own body from any disease, especially covid 19 disease. 4

According to the presenters of the University of the Philippines “Covid - 19 vaccines are safe”.
Vaccines are safe and the vaccine has been rigorously tested in several stages of trials before it is
approved for use. Scientists also continue to closely monitor the information in their sources if and
when they see any sign that may affect their health, they do not continue it. 3

This evidence illustrates that the vaccine has side effects but it is only mild, it also does not last long.
Vaccines are constantly monitored for safety, and to detect adverse events when they are injected. 2
