COVID-19 Vaccinations for Teens And Children is a MUST

 

            The world is finally getting better results each day that is letting us get closer to fully eradicating this deadly virus. And to put this pandemic to an end, letting all individuals get vaccinated should be a must, including children and teens. However, unfortunately, not all of us believe that vaccines given by the government should be trusted. A lot still have doubts on whether to let their selves and their loved ones get vaccinated. Although, what does everyone need to know about COVID-19 vaccines especially to children and teens? And why is it considered important and necessary?

 

Almost everyone has different opinions on this particular topic, and my opinion might as well differ from some of my peers. However, I do believe that getting all of us vaccinated is the only way to fully make sure that this virus succumbs into deep and eternal slumber. Numerous vaccines have been already created and is believed to have different effects and side effects. These are the Sinovac Biotech, AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Sputnik vaccines. Moreover, there are also a few vaccines already specifically made for teens and children, but only the Pfizer vaccine was allowed for children that are 5-12 years old. I, too, have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. And I can assure you that I did not die or nearly died as what some believe the vaccine will do to people, I am in fact in good health. However, I am aware that vaccines affect us differently. Although, the professionals won’t let us get vaccinated when they believe our bodies aren’t strong enough. Specially to children and teens, we go through a lot of tests and questions for the professionals to see if we are ready to take the vaccine.

 

It may be weird for me to say this, but can we trust the government even just this once? Let us put those useless theories about the vaccine containing stuff that lets the government control the citizens aside, and start thinking practically and realistically for our safety and for the people around as well. After two long tough years, we all deserve to feel safe around people, including children and teens. The pandemic has taken a toll on their mental health, they deserve to feel safe with their friends and peers. As someone who is a major science fiction fan, I am advising that you should refrain from baseless theories you see online that are inspired from fiction. Think wise, not only for yourself, but also your family. Be realistic.
