Memes, comments and allegories circulate every day on social networks, and show the different age groups waving their youth cultural consumptions like flags. Desserts, anime, series, hits of the summer, any consumption is worth to mark the belonging to a generation and, consequently, it works as a organizing factor of the covid-19 vaccination shifts.
Paraphrasing the most common tweets, we could say that If you were born in this century, pay attention because the vaccine may be about to touch you. You may be about to join the more than 20 million people inoculated with at least one dose. In fact, today he opened the vaccination in CABA for people between 25 and 29 years old without comorbidities (on this note you have all the information).
Argentina began its staggered vaccination plan at the end of last year, with priority over the oldest population groups, taking into account the operation of the pandemic. Within that program, the vaccination for people over 18 years of age without comorbidities is already working in Neuquén, Entre Ríos, Salta and Río Negro, for example, according to what is established by each district. To find out, the best are always official websites or apps of each jurisdiction, which is also the one that stipulates whether the call is with or without a shift.
Within the wide perimeter of the Buenos Aires province there are almost 70 municipalities that have vaccinated 90% of their population. And recently they had his youngest vaccinated, with just 18 years of age, in Leandro N. Alem. It is that although childhood and adolescence were the bands least affected by the pandemic from the infectious point of view, with a low fatality rate, always keep in mind that, no matter how minimal, every number counts.
Anyway, the most important social event of the century hit hard on boys and girls. The coronavirus drastically altered his life trajectory. Even some of the elemental aspirations of the stage were upset: get a job, meet people, study, socialize as a couple, attend social gatherings or significant public affairs, go to recitals, go out to dance or play sports. All this results in problems for social integration. And at the same time it transfigures the idea of the future, as uncertain as it is necessary.
As a counterpart, youth have a fundamental role in the organization and application of vaccines against covid-19, an unprecedented social act that leads to events of collective happiness: they coordinate the flow of people in the vaccinations, they provide support with apps, they provide vaccines. And now, as a group, they start to put their arms. Just by being vaccinated, they can be part of the only way to elicit generalized immunity known so far. Namely, the only possible avenue to recovery of “normality” previously reviled, now coveted.
What vaccines and why vaccines
The three injections that until today enter the country, that is, Sputnik V, AstraZeneca and Sinopharm, are applicable to the population over 18. In any case, you need two doses to complete the plan, although with a first application they offer an average protection of 70%. Eye: immunization does not occur as soon as you leave the vaccination center. You need an approximate minimum of three weeks to develop an immune system response.
Vaccines serve to prevent serious illness and death, in addition to reducing symptoms in case of contracting it, but do not totally prevent contagion, neither of the vaccinated nor of those around. So, care measures are maintained: well-placed chinstrap, distancing, cross-ventilation of the rooms, not sharing glasses, plates, cutlery or light bulbs, and frequent hand washing.
How can he hit you
As the vaccination progresses, as many smiling photos are viralized next to the card as stories about immediately subsequent symptoms. These are expected issues: according to the latest vaccine safety surveillance report, prepared by the Ministry of Health, in the first 72 hours after application you can have fever, headache or body pain, or gastrointestinal symptoms.
If there is some time to plan before the vaccine is given, it can be kept on hand. a reserve of paracetamol and some food already prepared. Lack of taste or smell, sore throat, mucus, and shortness of breath are not indicated as symptoms associated with vaccination, and require medical consultation.
What if you have previous symptoms
On the other hand, if before the shift you have symptoms compatible with covid-19 (temperature greater than or equal to 37.5 °, headache, body or throat pain, shortness of breath, cough, loss of smell and / or taste, mucus, vomiting and diarrhea), do not go to vaccinate. I postponed your application and consult a professional.
If the swab is positive, you will be able to get vaccinated at least three months after obtaining the epidemiological discharge. If you were close contact of someone positive for covid-19, do not get vaccinated either: postpone it until at least you complete your isolation. Lastly, keep in mind that none of the vaccines cause false positives.
There was an old normality that, still imperfect and hostile, today appears as a light at the end of the tunnel. Night outings, hot concerts, practicing all kinds of sports, gathering, freestyle battles, dunks. Anything that cannot be fully done during this time could come back if the strategy is collective. It’s up to the youth, segment praised in ideal terms and punished in practical terms, be part of the way out to build a world that is your own.
