Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without getting the illness.
It usually takes a few weeks for the body to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes after vaccination.
On December 11, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the first emergency use authorization (EUA) for a vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
A Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech appears to protect against a coronavirus variant that spreads rapidly to others.
After vaccination, symptoms such as fever can sometimes occur during the immune building process. These symptoms are normal and are a sign that the body is building immunity.
Most common side effects:-
(i) In the arm where you got the shot:
(ii) In your bodies:
Usually, these side effects begin within a day or two of receiving the vaccine. They may feel symptoms of the flu, and they may also affect the ability to do daily work, but don’t worry, the side effect will go away in a few days.
As reported by the BBC, this specific vaccine requires two doses. Immunity starts to build in 12 days after the first jab. After 21 days, a second dose is required to allow the body to develop full immunity by day 28.
Setiap individu perlu menerima 2 dos vaksin Comirnaty dengan tempoh masa sekurang-kurangnya 21 hari di antara dos pertama dan dos kedua.
Semua individu yang berusia 18 tahun ke atas boleh mengambil vaksin Comirnaty di Malaysia.
