GIVING INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS, MAKING

Lesson 1 EXPLANATIONS, and NARRATING EVENTS IN PERSONAL OR
FACTUAL EVENTS

Let’s Recall
Giving information is providing factual details of a particular concern/s.
Instructions is giving directions or guide for something to be done, accomplished or
performed
Making explanations is discussing on things that need to be cleared out for
understanding and proper dissemination of information purposes.
Narrating events is being done by a narrator or author who experienced personally
about a situation or event in reality and is supported by his personal demonstration
of what has really happened.

Let’s Explore
FAQS: VACCINES

You may also view this content on this link: https://doh.gov.ph/faqs/vaccines

1. How do vaccines prevent disease?

Vaccines mimic the virus or bacteria that causes disease and triggers the body’s
creation of antibodies. These antibodies will provide protection once a person is
infected with the actual disease-causing virus or bacteria.

3
2. How do vaccines differ?
Vaccines differ in their composition and how they trigger the immune response to
create antibodies. These antibodies protect the body from microorganisms and
serve as protection once a person gets infected with disease. Vaccines can be
inactivated, weakened or killed copies of the whole or part of the virus or bacteria,
or genetic product (like mRNA vaccines) that creates protein copies without
causing disease.
3. What are the possible side effects of vaccination?
The possible side effects of a vaccine include pain, redness, itchiness or swelling
at the injection site (which may last a few hours); fever; feeling of weakness or
fatigue; headache; dizziness; diarrhea; or nausea. Consult the nearest healthcare
professional if you experience any of these.
4. Is vaccination mandatory?
No, vaccination is not mandatory. But the government highly encourages the
public to get vaccinated and be protected against preventable disease.
5. Why do we need to get vaccinated for COVID-19?
With the BIDA steps and observance of minimum public health standards,
vaccination is an important way to protect yourself from getting severe COVID-19.
6. When will the COVID-19 vaccine be available?
The government is currently in the advanced stages of negotiations with various
vaccine manufacturers. We expect the first vaccine supply to arrive in the first
quarter of 2021.
7. What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?
It is an authorization granted through a risk-based procedure for assessing
unregistered (under development) vaccines or drugs during public health
emergencies of international concern. It aims to expedite availability of the vaccine
or drug to people affected by public health emergency based on essential set of
available quality, safety and efficacy performance data.
8. Who will get the vaccines first?
Frontline health workers, senior citizens, indigent population, and uniformed
personnel are the priority groups to be vaccinated.
9. Why will the prioritized groups get the vaccine first?
With the initial limited supply, frontline health workers and uniformed personnel
are prioritized since they have higher risk of exposure while on duty and to allow
them to continue fulfilling their duties in both the public and private sectors.
Vulnerable groups such as the elderly and the indigent population, are prioritized
guided by the principle of equity.
10. Can I purchase the vaccine from private clinics or pharmacies?
No, you cannot purchase COVID-19 vaccines from private clinics or pharacies. At
present, only the government is duly authorized to procure and administer
vaccines. Until a full market authorization is issued by the Philippine FDA, any
COVID-19 vaccine should not be sold to the public.
11. Is the vaccine free for priority groups?
The cost of vaccines for priority groups will be shouldered by the Philippine
government.
12. If I am not part of the priority group, how will I get access to the vaccine?
The government is continuing negotiations to ensure adequate vaccine supply for
all Filipinos, including those not in the priority groups.
13. Are the COVID-19 vaccines safe and effective?
COVID-19 vaccines that are granted with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are considered safe and effective based
on the available evidence to date.
14. Are there risks for complications when given the COVID-19 vaccine?

4
 Yes, like all other vaccines, there are risks of complications BUT SEVERE OR
LIFE-THREATENING REACTIONS ARE EXTREMELY RARE. The benefit of
protection against severe COVID-19 is greater than the risk. Anyone who will
get the vaccine will be properly evaluated and closely monitored by health
professionals to further minimize any risk.
15. What can we do while waiting for the vaccine?
We urge the public to be more vigilant with the information found online. Let us
make it a habit to fact check and verify with reliable sources (DOH Facebook
page, DOH website, WHO website, PIA website) regarding new information.
Continue observing the minimum public health standards to prevent further
transmission of the virus. https://doh.gov.ph/faqs/vaccines

Let’s Dig In

What To Do, and Not Do, Before and After your COVID Vaccine Shot
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
Updated 1144 GMT (1944 HKT) January 25, 2021

Why you shouldn't try to offer your Covid-19 vaccine to someone else in need.

DO: Get your vaccine when it's your turn.

Its chaos as older people struggle to get a Covid-19 vaccine. Here is what you can
do:
You should be able to find out when it's your turn to be vaccinated and how to
register in your neighborhood by reaching out to your state or local health
department. CNN has created a list of state websites, emails and phone numbers for
all 50 states and territories. Check there for information on available vaccine
registrations in your local area.

DON'T: Let disinformation on vaccines cloud your judgment.

Social media is rife with disinformation about both Covid-19 and the vaccines that
are available to prevent it.

DO: Get vaccinated if you've already had Covid-19.

Reinfection with Covid-19 is definitively possible, the CDC says, so everyone needs
to get a coronavirus vaccination, including those who have already had the illness.
Note: If you were given monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma while sick with
Covid-19, you should wait 90 days after treatment before getting the vaccine, the
CDC advises. Check with your doctor before scheduling the shot.

DON'T: Get a shot if you currently have Covid-19 or have been exposed.
If you have tested positive for Covid-19 or been exposed to someone who has the
illness, you should not go to the vaccination site to get your shot until your
symptoms and isolation period have passed, said Dr. Michael Ison, a professor in
the division of infectious diseases and organ transplantation at Northwestern
University's Feinberg School of Medicine.

DO: Get the shot even if you still have Covid symptoms months later.
A growing number of people are becoming coronavirus "long-haulers" -- people who
continue to suffer fatigue, brain fog, aches, pains, headaches and more for months
after the virus has left their systems.
Don't let your ongoing reactions keep you from getting the shot, said vaccine scientist
Dr. Peter Hotez, professor and dean at the National School of Tropical Medicine at
Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

DON'T: Get another type of vaccine within 14 days of the Covid-19 shot.

6
Wait at least 14 days before or after getting another vaccine, including a flu or
shingles shot, to get a Covid-19 vaccination, the CDC says.
However, if you inadvertently did get another vaccine within that two-week time
frame, you should complete the Covid-19 series on schedule. As more information
on how vaccines interact becomes available, the CDC says it may update this
guidance.

DO: Tell vaccine staff about any allergies or past allergic reactions.
It's rare, but a few people have had moderate-to-severe allergic reactions after being
given the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA vaccines, so be sure to tell the nurse at the
vaccination site about any past allergic reactions.
Covid cases remain lowest among younger children, even after schools reopened,
study says
If you do have a history of immediate or severe allergic reactions to vaccines or other
injections, try to have an EpiPen on hand, said Dr. Saju Mathew, an Atlanta-based
primary care physician and public health specialist.

DON'T: Drive away before your 15- to 30-minute wait is up.

The CDC requires that everyone receiving a coronavirus vaccination wait 15 minutes
in their car before driving away. If you have a history of severe allergic reactions,
you'll be required to wait 30 minutes in your car to be sure you're safe to drive. Both
are a minor inconvenience, experts say, compared to the dangers of an adverse
reaction of dizziness or worse while driving.
Common reactions to the vaccine are soreness and swelling at the injection site.
Sometimes, more typically after the second shot, people may experience such Covid-
like signs as fever, fatigue, headache and chills.

DO: Get your second shot of vaccine within the recommended time frame.
Getting a second shot of the vaccine is needed to be sure that you have protection,
according to Baylor's Hotez.

Continue wearing masks and practicing social distancing after your shots.
Continue to wear your masks and practice appropriate social distancing after both
your first and second doses of vaccine, the CDC says. The first dose will not produce
enough of an immune response to protect you or others. The second dose should
provide approximately 95% protection within one to two weeks after administration,
depending on the vaccine.
However, the CDC says, even after you are fully vaccinated you may still be a silent
carrier of the coronavirus.

"We ... don't yet know whether getting a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent you from
spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people," the CDC says.
So to protect others, continue to wear a mask over your nose and mouth, stay at
least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds and crowded and poorly ventilated
spaces, and wash your hands often for at least 20 full seconds.
CNN's Jacqueline Howard contributed to this report.

and-after-your-covid-vaccine-shot/

Directions: Write I if the statement gives instructions and S if is a simple sentence

only. Provide your answer before each number.

_________1. Wear mask even you are already vaccinated.

_________5. Tell the vaccine staff if you have allergies.

Let’s Remember

New COVID-19 Variants

Updated Jan. 15, 2021

Information about the characteristics of these variants is rapidly emerging. Scientists

are working to learn more about how easily they might spread, whether they could
cause more severe illness, and whether currently authorized vaccines will protect
people against them. At this time, there is no evidence that these variants cause more
severe illness or increased risk of death.

Viruses constantly change through mutation, and new variants of a virus are
expected to occur over time. Sometimes new variants emerge and disappear. Other
times, new variants emerge and persist. Multiple variants of the virus that causes
COVID-19 have been documented in the United States and globally during this
pandemic.

The virus that causes COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus, a large family of viruses.
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surfaces. Scientists
monitor changes in the virus, including changes to the spikes on the surface of the
virus. These studies, including genetic analyses of the virus, are helping us
understand how changes to the virus might affect how it spreads and what happens
to people who are infected with it.

Multiple COVID-19 variants are circulating globally:

In the United Kingdom (UK), a new variant called B.1.1.7 has emerged with an
unusually large number of mutations. This variant spreads more easily and quickly
than other variants. Currently, there is no evidence that it causes more severe illness
or increased risk of death. This variant was first detected in September 2020 and is
now highly prevalent in London and southeast England. It has since been detected
in numerous countries around the world, including the United States and Canada.
In South Africa, another variant called 1.351 has emerged independently of the
variant detected in the UK. This variant, originally detected in early October, shares
some mutations with the variant detected in the UK. There have been cases caused
by this variant outside of South Africa, but it has not been detected in the US.
In Brazil, a variant called P.1 emerged and was identified in four travelers from Brazil,
who were tested during routine screening at Haneda airport outside Tokyo, Japan.
This variant contains a set of additional mutations that may affect its ability to be
recognized by antibodies. This variant has not been detected in the US.
These variants seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, which
may lead to more cases of COVID-19. Currently, there is no evidence that these

8
variants cause more severe illness or increased risk of death. However, an increase
in the number of cases will put more strain on health care resources, lead to more
hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths. Rigorous and increased compliance
with public health mitigation strategies, such as vaccination, physical distancing,
use of masks, hand hygiene, and isolation and quarantine, will be essential to
limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and protecting public health.

What we do not know

Scientists are working to learn more about these variants, and more studies are
needed to understand:

How widely these new variants have spread

How the disease caused by these new variants differs from the disease caused by
other variants that are currently circulating
How these variants affect existing therapies and vaccines
What it means
Public health officials are studying these variants quickly to learn more to control
their spread. They want to understand whether the variants:

Public health officials are studying these variants quickly to learn more to control
their spread. They want to understand whether the variants:

Spread more easily from person to person

Cause milder or more severe disease in people
Are detected by currently available viral tests
Respond to medicines currently being used to treat people for COVID-19
Change the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

What CDC is doing

CDC, in collaboration with other public health agencies, is monitoring the situation
closely. CDC is working to detect and characterize emerging viral variants and
expand its ability to look for COVID-19 and new variants. Furthermore, CDC has
staff available on-the-ground support to investigate the characteristics of viral
variants. CDC is collaborating with EPA to confirm that disinfectants on EPA’s List
N: Disinfectants for Coronavirus (COVID-19) external icon inactivate these variant
viruses. As new information becomes available, CDC will provide updates.
