Vaccination 疫苗接种

Covid-19 is striking the world ridiculously. We are still in the progress of finding its medicine for treatment. We just manage to have its vaccine now, from one dosage to two dosages but it's recommended to have the third dosage for longer and effective protection from the virus! Is this the way to earn more and higher from the vaccine manufacturer? 

In Malaysia, the government was initially mentioning that they were buying the vaccines from US, England, Russia and China, which there were two brands of such vaccine from China, made it totaling five vaccines. However, it's now three vaccines available, which are Pfizer辉瑞 (US), AstraZeneca (AZ) (England) and Sinovac科兴 (China). These are the vaccines requiring two dosages. There are two or more that require only one dosage.

Nonetheless, the most effective one will be Pfizer and the lousiest one is Sinovac according to newspapers. I got my first dosage on 2nd August 2021 and the second dosage on Monday (23rd August 2021). My grandma was having Sinovac, my dad's one was Pfizer like me, my mom's one was AZ and my two sisters were Sinovac and Pfizer respectively.

Am I be grateful for being chosen for Pfizer? Frankly speaking, NO. I prefer Sinovac. I believe in real world statistic and news. China was the first country in the world announcing this virus attack and having the most cases. Nevertheless, the daily infected new cases are fewer than Malaysia now. The most cases in the world now is US and US took less than a year to overtake China. If the Pfizer is that effective, why US can't be secured now since it is invented and manufactured by the Americans? 

Anyway, I didn't bother that I was destined for Pfizer as we are not allowed to choose the vaccine ourselves since the government is giving it free of charge to us. I'll only reject if I was chosen for AZ since the two vaccines from England are having the most side effect and death cases in the world now! I'm glad that my company, Great Eastern Life Assurance (M) Berhad is giving extra reimbursements and compensations for side effect and death cases. At least, this is what other insurance companies in Malaysia are not willing to do so or not paying that much as Great Eastern.

I was just disappointed for arranging to take the vaccine in KPJ Hospital in Bandar Perda. I am from Penang Island but I had to go to near Kulim area, is this sound? Anyway, I still went for vaccination as I wanted it fast. 

On my first dosage, my hand straight away 酸痛 after 30 minutes vaccinated. But my appetite became bigger that day. On my second dosage, my hand just 酸痛 after three hours. My appetite was still the same. I just felt that I was sleepy and tiresome! I lied down to sleep but I couldn't fall asleep successfully on the second day vaccinated. I felt that my temperature was rising, hence I drank lots more water. 

I brought one bottle of warmed water to KPJ these two times. I straight away drank some before I was heading back. This was because I read this from newspapers, which interviewed the people with less side effect in China.

My dad bought me one coconut for drinking on my first dosage but I rejected him on my second dosage. This was because I want the vaccine to be fully integrated with my body. I won't consume anything which will lessen or disappear the functions of the vaccine. That was why I didn't eat the breakfast of nasi lemak which my dad bought as my breakfast in the morning of my second dosage.

I'm not feeling tired and painful anymore on the third day of second dosage. Apparently, the 酸痛 of first dosage was higher than the second one. 

Malaysia government have been changed again. From the government that always gave subsidies, incentives and 援金 to the one, which always give freedom and 解封 to a lot of industries now. However, the daily newly infected case is rising everyday now! Hence, are we having the wrong government again?

Yes, we need to let the economy goes as smoothly as possible, so that every worker is secured with their jobs. Nonetheless, will consumers come out and spend in this critical situation? I think it's not many. Then how to do business? How the bosses can sustain the business if there is no business to do? Then the workers will be retrenched or the business will be closing down! Then the government will be suffering since they can't help the citizens. 

In my opinion, the government should ensure everyone, at least twelve or 18 years old and above should be vaccinated before opening all the sectors and economy. I hope the situation can be controlled and strengthened now because I want to fight for my business! Hopefully the government can hear me or take advice or copy what China is doing for Covid-19 cases. We should learn from the successful ones when we have no idea to do better, shouldn't we?
