Be alert, vaccine recipients can still transmit the Corona Virus

KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. One of the important things that can reduce the risk of spreading the Corona Virus is the Covid-19 vaccine. However, that does not mean that the vaccine recipient becomes immune to the virus and cannot transmit the disease to other people.

However, that doesn’t mean you have to give up your intention to get the Covid-19 vaccine, right? Although infected after being vaccinated, the effects of Covid-19 that you feel are not too severe. The need for hospitalization and the risk of dying from the disease also decreased.

Quoting from the E Times (timesofindia.indiatimes.com), vaccine recipients usually do not show symptoms of Covid-19. That’s what makes it quite dangerous. Without knowing it, you can transmit the Corona Virus to other people. Especially those who are in the same room as you.
