Important Things After Vaccination
For antibodies to increase, you need to be vaccinated. However, that doesn’t mean you can adopt an unhealthy lifestyle afterward. You still have to try to maintain health. In addition, there are still some things that need to be considered as below.
1. Keep Wearing Masks
Even though you have received the Covid-19 vaccine, it does not mean that you are free from the potential attack of the virus. It will take some time for the body to produce maximum antibodies. Even if you get the vaccine (1-2 times the dose depending on the type of vaccine), you still need to protect yourself from the virus.
Vaccines cannot cover 100 percent but are only helpful for boosting immunity. Therefore, you still need to comply with health protocols. One of the health protocols is wearing a mask. You need to wear a mask when you leave the house, both at close and far distances.
2. Keep Your Distance and Avoid Crowds
After being vaccinated, many people think about traveling, such as a vacation out of town or abroad. However, these activities will increase your chances of being in a crowd and making social contact. Therefore, after the vaccine, you must keep your distance and avoid crowds because you still have the potential to catch or transmit the Covid-19 virus.
3. Caring for Family Members
Someone who has received the vaccine can help treat family members with Covid-19. For example, helping deliver food or drinks and checking body temperature. However, you must still adhere to health protocols, such as washing your hands with soap and running water. You also need to consult a doctor about these assistance efforts so that they do not cause transmission of the virus.
After Vaccine, Keep Wearing Mask
After the vaccine, you should still wear a mask. Through vaccination, the immune system can develop stronger so that it can control disease transmission. Therefore, the whole society needs to comply with it.
1. Still Potentially Contagious
COVID-19 is effective in preventing the transmission of Covid-19, but that does not mean it can be 100% immune. Vaccines have also not been shown to prevent someone from spreading the virus to those around them. The Covid-19 vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to form antibodies through injection into the muscle.
Then, it becomes a shield to ward off infection and severe symptoms. The lungs are accessible to antibodies. However, these antibodies have not been able to neutralize the virus that has been attached to the mucous glands in the nose. The virus still has the potential to infect other people.
2. There’s a Possibility of a New Virus Variant
Wearing a mask also aims to protect against attacks by new virus variants. It is possible that the vaccine has not been able to ward off the new virus variant. Therefore, one way to protect yourself is to wear a mask.
3. Following Collective Ethics
Wearing a mask, washing hands with soap, and keeping a distance are health protocols in Indonesia. Everyone must comply with this health protocol without exception. Therefore, it is mandatory to follow it even though you have received the vaccine.
Following the health, the protocol is a form of responsibility and ethics that every community member together seeks to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus.
