Video: Ang pagpapabakuna ay mahalaga: Para sa akin, para sa atin (Vaccination is important: For me, for us)
Audio file: Ang pagpapabakuna at mga karagdagang hakbang (Vaccination and complementary preventive measures)
Ang pagpapabakuna ang siyang pangunahing paraan upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19. Subalit kailangan pa rin natin ang mga karagdagang hakbang katulad ng pisikal na pagdistansiya at tamang kalinisan. Narito ang paliwanang ni Dr. Sonny Rueda, isang GP sa Melbourne.
Audio file: Kaligtasan ng mga bakuna (Vaccine safety)
Parang mabilis ang paggawa ng mga bakuna, paano tayo makakasiguro na ang mga ito ay ligtas at epektibo sa lahat ng tatanggap ng bakuna? Pakinggan natin ang paliwanag ni Dr. Sonny Rueda, isang Pilipino GP sa Melbourne.
Audio file: Nababawasan ang malubhang sakit dulot ng COVID-19 sa pamamagitan ng bakuna (Vaccines reduce severity of illness from COVID-19 infection)
Maari pa ba akong mahawaan ng COVID-19 kahit na nabakunahan na ako ng buo?
-
- Ang mga bakuna ay hindi 100% na pipigilan ang pagkalat ng sakit.
- Maari pa ring mahawa ng COVID-19 ang isang taong nabakunahan ng buo.
- Subalit kapag nahawa ng COVID-19, inaasahang hindi magiging malala ang epekto nito at mas malamang na hindi mapupunta sa ospital o ICU.

Ang mga bakunang pangCOVID-19 ay ligtas at iminumungkahi para sa mga buntis at nagpapasuso. Narito ang paliwanag ni Dr. Sonny Rueda, isang GP sa Melbourne.
