Merdeka.com – A number of parties are intensively preparing the Covid-19 vaccine. Where, the corona virus has claimed tens of millions of human lives in various parts of the world. The community is expected not to be careless to remain vigilant and obedient in implementing health protocols so as not to become infected. For those who have been infected and then recovered, it does not mean that they are immune.
Spokesperson for the Covid-19 Task Force and Ambassador for Adaptation to New Habits, dr. Reisa Broto Asmoro, said that in the situation of the Covid-19 disease outbreak, it is better to make prevention efforts than cure. Even though the vaccine will be available later, he asked the public to remain disciplined in implementing health protocols.
“If we can get the specific immunization from vaccines, why should we get sick. And we have to keep in mind, we must be disciplined to take care of ourselves and others. At least 3M, wear masks properly, maintain a safe distance of at least 1 meter, then wash. hands routinely as often as possible, ideally with soap and running water, at least 20 seconds, “he explained in the Dialogue of the Government Spokesperson and New Habit Adaptation Ambassadors on the theme ‘Procedure for Vaccination in Indonesia’ which was held at the Media Center Committee for Handling COVID-19 and Economic Recovery. National (KPCPEN), Monday (23/11).
Indonesian Immunization Expert, dr. Jane Soepardi, reminded the public not to be indifferent to efforts to provide the Covid-19 vaccine related to the handling of the Covid-19 outbreak that the government is currently doing. “If we are lucky to get immunization from Covid-19, don’t reject it. We must be grateful if we get this vaccine,” he said.
From her experiences in immunization for decades, Jane agrees that vaccines are the ultimate effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 and build communal immunity.
“Scientists’ knowledge is currently very limited about COVID-19, there is always something new. We don’t know, for example, if now we have Covid-19 and happen to recover, we don’t know what will happen next,” he said.
He also asked the public not to be careless by assuming that Covid-19 would only contract an infected human body once. He gave an example of chickenpox infection. The disease does not go away, but instead becomes raging as a person ages.
“For example, when we got chickenpox as a child, it was cured. It turns out that the smallpox virus is sleeping in the nerve ganglion. Later, maybe 15-20 years from now, when we are in bad condition, a very sick Herpes Zoster (snake pox) appears, “he explained.
This vaccination expert also added, this Corona virus infection is very fast. Therefore, he appealed to the public not to be careless and care about the availability of vaccines later.
“People also have to know very well that vaccines and drugs are not the same, completely different. Making vaccines is much more difficult than making drugs. Even so, vaccines, to be accepted, are far more difficult conditions than drugs. Because the vaccine will be given to drugs. healthy people. The medicine is given to people who are already sick, “he explained.
“Vaccines can only be given if it has been proven that healthy people who are given the vaccine remain healthy. So they have immunity,” he explained at length. [bim]
