As we know, covid-19 is now widespread in Malaysia. The rate of covid 19 infection in Malaysia is very worrying. With this we from Uitm Puncak Alam are preparing a few initiatives to encourage Malaysians to participate to save our country. This vaccine also cannot prevent you from the virus itself. This vaccine can only save you from death or can reduce pain if exposed to this virus. Accept a little of our small initiative for you, our country, Malaysia.

Vaccine Distribution Strategy and Target Group

👮🏻‍♂️ 👨🏼‍⚕️ The first strategy is to vaccinate frontliners, especially those in the health sector, to ensure that they are protected from contracting COVID-19. This is to ensure that the health sector continues to operate optimally.

👵🏼👴🏼 The second strategy is to reduce the burden of disease for those in high-
risk groups so they are protected from
a COVID-19 infections. This in turn can reduce the load on the Malaysian public health system.

📈🏘 The third strategy to control this pandemic is for the vaccination to be carried out in high-risk areas throughout phases two and three through risk assessment to control the spread of the disease.

DRIVE THRU COVID-19 VACCINATION

The drive-through option for Covid-19 vaccination is currently only open to those getting their second jab. Besides that, a total of 13,500 persons with disabilities in klang valley will receive covid-19 vaccines at the country’s first drive through vaccination centre.
The increase in the number of daily vaccination was also supported by 276 vaccination centres (PPV) nationwide, along with an increase in drive-thru PPVs. Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali reportedly said that more drive-thru PPVs will be established nationwide. Currently, the drive-thru PPVs are located at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Specialist Children's Hospital. Drive-thru PPVs were also set up at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Puncak Alam campus, with more to come at another 19 higher learning institutions.

How do we know that COVID-19 vaccines are safe?

🧑🏼‍🔬 There are strict protections in place to help ensure the safety of all COVID-19 vaccines. Before receiving validation from WHO and national regulatory agencies, COVID-19 vaccines must undergo rigorous testing in clinical trials to prove that they meet internationally agreed benchmarks for safety and efficacy.

👨🏼‍🔬 Unprecedented scientific collaborations have allowed COVID-19 vaccine research, development, and authorizations to be completed in record time – to meet the urgent need for these vaccines while maintaining high safety standards. As with all vaccines, WHO and regulatory authorities will continuously monitor the use of COVID-19 vaccines to identify and respond to any safety issues that might arise, and through that process to assure they remain safe for use around the world

There are four types of COVID-19 vaccines: here’s how they work :
There are four categories of vaccines in clinical trials: WHOLE VIRUS, PROTEIN SUBUNIT, NUCLEIC ACID (RNA AND DNA) and VIRAL VECTOR. Some of them try to smuggle the antigen into the body, others use the body’s own cells to make the viral antigen.

Whole Virus :-
Many conventional vaccines use whole viruses to trigger an immune response. There are two main approaches. Live attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus that can still replicate without causing illness. Inactivated vaccines use viruses whose genetic material has been destroyed so they cannot replicate, but can still trigger an immune response.

Protein Subunit :-
Subunit vaccines use pieces of the pathogen - often fragments of protein - to trigger an immune response. Doing so minimizes the risk of side effects, but it also means the immune response may be weaker.

Nucleic Acid :-
Nucleic acid vaccines use genetic material – either RNA or DNA – to provide cells with the instructions to make the antigen. In the case of COVID-19, this is usually the viral spike protein. Once this genetic material gets into human cells, it uses our cells' protein factories to make the antigen that will trigger an immune response. The advantages of such vaccines are that they are easy to make, and cheap. Since the antigen is produced inside our own cells and in large quantities, the immune reaction should be strong.

Viral Vector :-
Viral vector vaccines also work by giving cells genetic instructions to produce antigens. But they differ from nucleic acid vaccines in that they use a harmless virus, different from the one the vaccine is targeting, to deliver these instructions into the cell. One type of virus that has often been used as a vector is adenovirus, which causes the common cold. As with nucleic acid vaccines, our own cellular machinery is hijacked to produce the antigen from those instructions, in order to trigger an immune response. Viral vector vaccines can mimic natural viral infection and should therefore trigger a strong immune response

What are the Benefits of Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Although experts are still learning a lot about the COVID-19 vaccines, there are some clear benefits to getting vaccinated.

1. The vaccine reduces your risk of infection.

- Once you receive your first shot, your body begins producing antibodies to the coronavirus. These antibodies help your immune system fight the virus if you happen to be exposed, so it reduces your chance of getting the disease.

2. The vaccine can help your unborn baby or newborn.

- A new study found that expectant mothers who receive the COVID-19 vaccine create antibodies to the virus and pass those to their unborn baby through the placenta. Mothers were also shown to pass antibodies to their newborns through breast milk. This suggests those newborns have some immunity to the virus, which is especially important as young children cannot get the vaccine.

3. The vaccine (eventually) will help us ditch the masks.

- The vaccine is the final step in our effort to get back to a more normal way of life. Public health measures such as mask wearing, physical distancing and hand-washing were implemented to slow the spread of the virus, and they have proven to work. We should continue with these precautions until enough people are immunized, especially the most vulnerable in our community.

"Malaysia Prihatin Programme to Serve as COVID-19, Vaccination Awareness Campaign Platform"

The Malaysia Prihatin programme will now be one of the main platforms to conduct awareness campaigns about the dangers of COVID-19 and to encourage Malaysians to register themselves for vaccination.

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said the government is intensifying its efforts as the number of individuals who have registered to receive vaccination shots was still too low.

Local media reported previously that registrations on the MySejathera app for vaccinations have slowed down tremendously.

The Special Muzakarah Committee of the National Council for Malaysian Islamic Affairs has decided that the COVID-19 vaccine use is permissible and obligatory for the groups set by the government.

10/07/2021

To prevent the spread of COVID-19:

🥰 Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
🥰 Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
🥰 Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible.
🥰 Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
🥰 Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
🥰 Stay home if you feel unwell.
🥰 If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.

Vaccines are usually tested in adults first, and only later assessed in children when safety has been proven in adults, because children are still developing and growing. COVID-19 has also been a more serious and dangerous disease among older people. Now that the vaccines have been determined to be safe for adults, they are being studied in children.

WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) has concluded that the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine is suitable for use by people aged 12 years and above. Children aged between 12 and 15 who are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 may be offered this vaccine alongside other priority groups for vaccination. Vaccine trials for children are ongoing and WHO will update its recommendations when the evidence or epidemiological situation justifies a change in policy.

While the supply of vaccines is limited, the ongoing priority is to vaccinate those most at risk of serious illness who still have not been vaccinated in many parts of the world: older people, those with chronic health conditions, and health workers.

Most children are at low risk of serious disease and vaccinating them is primarily about reducing transmission, which can also be achieved through public health measures, including: physically distancing from others, cleaning hands frequently, sneezing and coughing into their elbow, wearing a mask if age appropriate and avoiding crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.

Possible Side Effects After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few hours or few days. Some people have no side effects.
Common Side Effects:

On the arm where you got the shot:

-Pain or Redness ot Swelling
Throughout the rest of your body:
-Tiredness or Headache or Muscle pain or Chills or Fever or Nausea
Helpful Tips to Relieve Side Effects
Talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, or antihistamines, for any pain and discomfort you may experience after getting vaccinated. You can take these medications to relieve post-vaccination side effects if you have no other medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally.

It is not recommended you take these medicines before vaccination for the purpose of trying to prevent side effects.
To reduce pain and discomfort where you got the shot:
-Apply a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the area.
-Use or exercise your arm.
To reduce discomfort from fever:
-Drink plenty of fluids.
-Dress lightly.

If You Received a Second Shot;

Side effects after your second shot may be more intense than the ones you experienced after your first shot. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection and should go away within a few days.

When to Call the Doctor
In most cases, discomfort from pain or fever is a normal sign that your body is building protection. Contact your doctor or healthcare provider:

If the redness or tenderness where you got the shot gets worse after 24 hours
If your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days

5 countries including New Zealand are now Covid-19 free. Here’s the list ❤️

1. New Zealand
On June 8, New Zealand announced that the last of its coronavirus patients had recovered with its health officials saying there were no active cases of Covid-19 in the country. The Pacific island nation reported just over 1500 corona patients including 22 who died. The country had enforced a strict lockdown for nearly seven weeks, in which most businesses were shut and everyone except essential workers had to stay at home.

2. Tanzania
Tanzania’s president on Sunday claimed that his country is free of the coronavirus because of the power of prayer. However, the claim came six weeks after the African nation stopped publicly updating virus data. Tanzania’s number of-19 cases has been stuck at 509 for six weeks as health officials, opposition figures and some neighbouring countries worry that cases in the East African nation continue to climb.

3. Vatican
The Vatican said on June 6 that there were no more cases of Covid-19 within its population after all its 12 patients recovered. The Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement that the last person found to have been infected with the coronavirus in recent weeks had tested negative. The city state did not report any deaths.

4. Timor-Leste
The island country declared itself Covid-19 free on May 15 following the recovery of its 24th and final confirmed case. The country did not report any death from the virus.

5. Brunei
Brunei has successfully contained the spread of Covid-19 and has begun opening travel corridors with other countries in Southeast Asia. Schools and places of worship have been open since July, while businesses and restaurants have reopened gradually. Brunei’s success can be attributed to its quick and drastic restrictions on travel, extensive testing, and strict quarantine rules.

It is because:

COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
- COVID-19 vaccines are not experimental. They went through all the required stages of clinical trials. Extensive testing and monitoring have shown that these vaccines are safe and effective.

COVID-19 vaccines are effective.
- COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.

Once you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing more.
- You can resume many activities that you did before the pandemic. You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart.

COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection.
- Studies have shown that vaccination provides a strong boost in protection in people who have recovered from COVID-19.

Immunity after COVID-19 vaccination.
- There is still a lot we are learning about COVID-19 vaccines and CDC is constantly reviewing evidence and updating guidance. COVID-19 has caused very serious illness and death for a lot of people.
If you get COVID-19, you also risk giving it to loved ones who may get very sick. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer choice.
