It’s #WorldImmunizationWeek!

If you could see viruses you would know that they are all around. Vaccines provide opportunity and hope for all of us to enjoy a more fulfilling life. That's something we should all be fighting for. Vaccines, in the pursuit of a #LongLifeForAll.

This #WorldImmunizationWeek, let's celebrate life’s relatable moments that make us happy to be alive.
Dinner with friends.
A first kiss.
A first dance.
An early start to the day.
A family reunited.
…
#LongLifeForAll

Ever since the 1st vaccine was developed for #smallpox in 1796, the 🌍 has seen their unparalleled impact on health and wellbeing. People have been vaccinated for centuries, leading to the eradication of smallpox and driving down polio cases to an all-time low. #LongLifeForAll

مصدر مسؤول بـ #وزارة_الصحة_المصرية، قال إن الأسبوعين المقبلين سيكونان حاسمين في المنحنى الوبائي لفيروس #كورونا المستجد بـ #مصر

وتحتفل مصر هذه الفترة بمجموعة من المناسبات الدينية كـ #عيد_القيامة المجيد و #شم_النسيم و #عيد_الفطر_المبارك، وكل هذه الاحتفالات حال عدم اتباع الإجراءات الاحترازية اللازمة للوقاية من فيروس #كورونا خلالها، سيترتب عليها زيادة أعداد الإصابات بشكل أكبر بكثير من الفترة الحالية

وتابع مسؤول #وزارة_الصحة_المصرية: "لا بد من أخذ الهند والتحورات التي حدثت للفيروس فيها بعين الاعتبار، خاصة وأنهم فتحوا البلاد وتخلوا عن الإجراءات الوقائية واحتلفوا بمناسبات دينية، دون الأخذ بالاعتبار وجود فيروس #كورونا مما نتج عنه زيادة إصابات وتحورات الفيروس بشكل أخطر

مع بدء حملات التطعيم ضد #كورونا في مختلف أنحاء العالم، طرح البعض سؤالا حول فعالية الحصول على جرعة واحدة في الحماية من الإصابة بـ #كوفيد_19

دراسة بريطانية تجيب.. al-a.in/tssXoBB

وأفادت دراسة بريطانية، بأن الأشخاص الذين لم يتعرّضوا للإصابة بمرض #كوفيد_19 من قبل، لا يزالون معرضين للعدوى بسلالاته بعد حصولهم على الجرعة الأولى من لقاح فايزر/بيونتك الأمريكي الألماني، ما يعزز الحاجة إلى أنظمة تطعيم كاملة وسريعة

#اللقاحات_تقربنا_أكثر #WorldImmunizationWeek

وقال الباحثون إن أولئك الذين تعرّضوا سابقاً لحالات خفيفة أو غير مصاحبة لأعراض #كوفيد_19 "تعززت الوقاية لديهم بشكل كبير" بعد الحصول على جرعة واحدة ضد السلالات التي تمّ رصدها أولاً في بريطانيا وجنوب أفريقيا

في إطار سعي الجميع إلى العثور على علاج لفيروس كورونا المستجد (#كوفيد_19)، أو لقاح للوقاية منه، ظهرت الآن حقن مصنوعة الشوكولاتة في بلجيكا

وتعمل شركة بلجيكية لصنع الشوكولاتة، كانت تضع العام الماضي كمامات بيضاء على حلوى في هيئة أرانب، على صنع قوالب كبيرة من الشوكولاتة في شكل محقن لمواكبة الدعوات للمشاركة في تلقى اللقاح

#اللقاحات_تقربنا_أكثر #WorldImmunizationWeek

ومع تكثيف بلجيكا لحملتها للتطعيم ضد مرض كوفيد-19، تقوم شركة (كاكاوتري) المتخصصة في صناعة الحلوى بالترويج لتلقى اللقاح وكذلك للفوائد الصحية الطبيعية للشوكولاتة وفقا لرؤيتها الخاصة

قال باحثون بريطانيون، الجمعة، إن الوفيات والإصابات بمرض فيروس #كورونا المستجد (كوفيد-19) باتت نادرة بعد تلقي اللقاح

وقال الباحثون إن عددا قليلا جدا ممن أصيبوا بـ كوفيد-19 من المسنين وممن يعانون من ضعف عام يدخلون إلى المستشفى ويتوفون حتى بعد الحصول على الجرعة الأولى من لقاحات فايزر أو أسترازينيكا، لكن ذلك لا يعني أن اللقاحات غير فعالة

وأضاف الباحثون، أثناء عرضهم بيانات ميدانية حول مجموعة من المصابين بكوفيد-19 في المستشفيات في بريطانيا، أن النتائج أظهرت نوعا ما "فشلا للقاحات" لكن ذلك لم يكن "مستبعدا"

COVID specific:
Fact:
They are safe and effective. A small small small % of people have serious side effects.
Fact:
Yes- there are minor side effects. Our human got night lava sweats and was exhausted for a day. He’s totally fine now.
#COVID19

Fact: you cannot GET COVID-19 from the vaccine. It literally doesn’t have the virus in it. It has parts of it which makes your body remember for when it comes in contact for REAL.
You cannot SHED the vaccine.
You are not a dog. The vaccine is not hair.

Fact: the more people get vaccinated the sooner life goes back to normal. Yes- this means concerts, sports, weddings and funerals.
If you want restrictions to end, we need A HUGE % of people to get the jab as quick as possible. Want fancy gatherings? Get the fancy vaccine.
