Corona vaccine pros and cons

 

Corona vaccine, is it safe to use Corona vaccine?

·       Introduction

The world’s health organisation is sweating on the development, testing and generation of a COVID-19 vaccine as well as other effective vaccines against diseases such as flu. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been in collaboration with several countries in providing the necessary assistance to control the spread of this dangerous disease. The most tough task now is getting the large number of people vaccinated before it can be possible to curb the virus from circulating. World health organisation should provide finance for research, production and test of vaccines to effectively prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, they should distribute the vaccine to every country that would like to take part in the vaccination program.

There are few things that the government lacks in order to prevent the spread of this deadly disease. As a result, the government should prepare enough funds through which they will fund research and develop an effective vaccine against Coronavirus. Governments should work together to ensure that there are adequate supplies of food and other essentials at affordable rates. It should also facilitate education about the importance of wearing masks and maintain social distancing among others so as to protect the citizens against infection by the dangerous Coronavirus disease.

In addition, all people need to cooperate with each other in terms of protecting themselves. There are no known infections, but all people should remain vigilant, especially when they go out to do their jobs. They must ensure that they cover their noses and mouth in case they get sick. Social distancing when one and another person gets infected is important. People should avoid touching hands when they come into contact with someone at a distance, especially if the person knows he or she is ill. This is also required when leaving home. When one touches his or her face, they should wash it as soon as possible so as to protect themselves and others from the possible effects that illness can cause. A quick doctor visit should be made if the body feels pain or discomfort.

A person who was not willing to undergo any medical procedure should be informed about the same so as to encourage their compliance. All countries have been asked to provide assistance whenever they will find those who have not acquired immunity from Coronavirus and are willing to accept the vaccine shots as a substitute to treat them. Research should take place in such nations so as to enable them determine the most viable vaccines for the treatment of the disease. Countries should come up with strategies that will enable them to acquire more doses so as to cater for the needs of many people around the globe. Moreover, the UNHRC needs to play its role in mobilising resources for the prevention and cure of the deadly epidemic. Every person who was exposed should receive a test so as to determine whether they had contracted the Coronavirus and if so, to know when to isolate themselves and seek medical attention.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is supervisor of administering tests and researches that can assist the governments to fight this devastating plague. Their mandate is to ensure that the world stays safe from any infectious disease so as to protect everyone from death and destruction due to poor hygiene. Therefore, they require that individuals take part in these exercises in order to achieve positive results. They must provide guidance on how best to make life a living a bit easier for everybody around the globe.

In addition, WHO has got to supervise training programs so as to furnish these susceptible people with new techniques that they can utilize in battling Coronavirus. The people should also be nurtured on what they can do so as to protect themselves in any pandemic especially corona virus. However, the government should also offer incentives to persons who can afford to pay for such services. If anyone is willing to donate plasma, then they should get financial benefits. These standards will help in limiting the rate of spread along with protecting people from any eventuality that may occur (McClay, 2012).

·       Pros and Cons of Using Corona Vaccine

Vaccines are believed to be beneficial in curbing Coronavirus disease and have already begun being administered in some parts of the world. Such vaccinations allow human beings to avoid contracting this pandemic disease, which could lead to mortality and other serious complications. Individuals who have fallen victims of the infection get their bodies tested in order to identify whether they got infected by the pathogen. After getting such tests, individuals start having protection against the disease. As a result, the disease gets under control within a short period. Most of the vaccines against this infection are injected directly in the body to give the protected system which is called immune system, a possibility to recognise  the pathogen and fight it as soon the as possible.

This type of strategy works in ensuring that human beings stay safe from becoming infected by the virus. In the view of the specialists from the Australian National University, the first COVID-19 vaccine examinations in humans commenced in May 2020. The trial was conducted to protect 30 individuals and to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of vaccines. Initially, there were three groups; the placebo group, the trial group (nearly half) and high-risk group (nearly five) (McClay, 2012). The efficacy of the mRNA technology is evident in this particular study. For instance, Pfizer-BioNTech used it to create a hybrid vaccine that allows 95% effectiveness in preventing the disease.

The vaccines that are in development currently target coronavirus spike protein. An experiment carried out at Oxford University found that when given intravenous, the antibodies (especially anti-spike proteins) produced by the volunteers helped identify the actual virus and neutralise it to reduce its viral replication. Thus, the scientists found that antibody-based vaccines to stop the progression of coronavirus infection in patients who have an active immune system. In fact, both the United Arab Emirates and Israel were able to regulate vaccinations successfully without the desire for  interventions. Hence, the government should consider introducing similar campaigns about taking the necessary precautions against Coronavirus infection. Besides offering free vaccines and tests, countries should educate the masses on the importance of proper hand washing and social distancing.

Mostly speaking, vaccines are expensive and thus only rich countries can afford to buy them in bulk. Many nations prefer to produce their own vaccines rather then procure them from other states who supply the necessary items. For example, India, which is developing a vaccine, is in search of additional 10 million doses than are available in the world. Since Australia and China are very rich countries, they can afford the whole process. Due to this reason, they have opted not to sign bilateral contracts with other countries. Experts from GSK, BioNTech and Moderna have been instrumental in producing COVID-19 vaccines such as Covishield, a kind of manufactured ribonucleic acid for the generation of cleaned SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Another vaccine called ChAdOx-1, manufactured by Pfizer, is another good candidate. The pharmaceutical company, GSK, have already completed phase 2 clinical trials and is preparing a formal request for approval to launch commercial supplies.

As we know the cost of getting vaccines is very high, the state needs to operate rapidly and arrange an adequate allowance for paying for such interests. With time, the pandemic will spread even more causing deaths and more severe illnesses. To avert this risk, developing the capacity to carry out screening tests will make sure that every nation gets access to a perfect vaccine that is needed to win the battle against Coronavirus. This will entail establishing global networks for sharing information about the potential treatments and testing aids available for patients.

·       Conclusion

Vaccines and the use of vaccines are effective ways of dealing with various diseases in modern society. The World Health Organization (WHO) plays some crucial roles in the distribution of vaccines. First, they oversee the selection of appropriate candidates. Second, the organization carries out rigorous evaluations of the candidates by carrying out controlled studies. Finally, WHO provides the technical advice on where the products are going to be produced, their storage conditions, safety and effectiveness (McClay, 2012).
