Health is the most sensitive point for humanity, which is why today everyone is in a pandemic declared by the World Health Organization.In the hope that the virus will not affect us even more, we are waiting to be vaccinated, but here we are facing another problem, namely the lack of information and the side effects that arouse fear among people.

What is a vaccine?

One of the things that many people don’t know is how the vaccine works. We need to understand that the vaccine does not work as a cure, it is not like paracetamol or other pills we drink to get rid of the disease.

The vaccine is generally nothing more than a small amount of dead viruses, or a virus protein of the virus we try to immunize against to. The proteins responsible for multiplication are removed from the virus and in this way our immune system can identify the virus and fight it without being overloaded compared to the fight it would have had if the virus had multiplied.

 This fight against the dead virus or a virus protein is called immunization.

How does immunization work?

Immunization is actually the body’s fight against the virus, process in which the body identifies the virus weaknesses and methods to kill it. This defense mechanism of the body has an ability to ‘memorize’ how the virus or protein from the virus looks like, so the next time it comes in contact with it the body will already have the means to fight it and the virus will not be able to causes damage to the body because it will be destroyed very quickly.

What happens after vaccination?

After vaccination, while the the body fights the virus sample we gave it, we will have fever, muscle aches and other normal processes for any immunization process. Fever is the way the body acts on any intruder in the body. Every parent who has vaccinated their child against chickenpox, measles and others knows that the vaccine comes with small side effects. Even when a thorn enters our finger, we will notice a special warming of the area in which it entered. Depending on each person’s health and the immune system, the fever and muscle aches will be higher or undetectable.

What do we need to know?

Because vaccination involves a process of fighting, the body is weakened a little, that’s why when we get vaccinated we must be healthy, or at least in a stable state.

  • People with chronic diseases must first be brought to a stable and good health, and then vaccinated. Otherwise, if their body is already weakened, at a dose of vaccine, the body will take strength to fight the virus and may aggravate the chronic disease. 

Practically to an already weakened organism we must avoid attacking it with anything else.So, when we get vaccinated we must be in good health or at least stable.

  • Then, after we are vaccinated, again, the time when the body is weakened and in the process of immunization, we must avoid coming into contact with any person who risks transmitting other diseases to us, whether related to the virus with which we were vaccinated or not. 

Because in the case of COVID 19, immunity involves 2 doses of vaccine, the immunization will be done in about a month – during which we must avoid any risk of exposure to disease or other viruses and bacteria.

What happens if we are sick and get the vaccine?

When an organism is already weakened and we vaccinate it, we give it an additional task, which will lead to the exhaustion of the organism and the development of various exaggerated immune reactions such as blood clots or cardiac arrest, etc.

Conclusions:

  • If you are sick, even a little cold, wait for you to get well and after you recover, get your vaccine.
  • If you already have COVID 19, you have gone through a natural immunization process.
  • If you have chronic diseases, bring yourself to good health and then get vaccinated.
  • If you have been vaccinated, try to stay in isolation for a month to avoid infection with any other diseases that could affect your body.
