Corona vaccine: hesitancy and eagerness

Image


...And finally 2021 is rising with the news of corona vaccine approval in India. The most awaited moment has been arrived. The dangerous 2020 slapped us from every aspect including health, economy, social life and mental stability. 2020 tested us from the bottom and here we are at the edge of 2021. All those who survived this difficult time are the warriors according to Darwin's principle 'The Survival of Fittest'.  But still the fittest testing is on. The audition for the best human being is still continue.

 

Now it's time for vaccine administration. The hope and courage our scientists have been showing should not be wasted by our irresponsible acts. Corona virus was an unsolved question just before some months and now we are gradually getting rid of it. We have so many doubts in our minds and the same doubts have been arised from the vaccine arrival.

 

We knew nothing about vaccine. That leads us to guess various ideas about its composition, its efficacy and its adverse effects. The freedom of thinking about unknown mostly leads us towards the dangerous end first. The bad ideas discourage ourselves as well as others. The most difficult task of the scientist's perspiration will start now and that is to convince people and fullfill their curiosity.

 

Eagerness about vaccine should be directed towards the right information. If any doubt from people is unanswered, the doubt will create the rumour itself. This rumour can be very distructive to the aim of public health. So it is the most sensitive part to satisfy people's queries regarding covid vaccine.


Unsolved queries create hesitancy to the vaccine. People like to share their theories and in this digital era it's very easy to promote the fear. Religious misbelieves, fear, social stigma and rumours are the most unethical factors to set the vaccine campaign back. These aren't new. We have faced them many times and also came out successfully. Starting from Polio vaccination campaigns to Measles and Rubella vaccination campaign all the above factors were encountered. That's why we are here on the path of developed country. But even developed countries are also suffering from the hesitancy towards the corona vaccine. In this scenario our responsibility increase to stabilise our population about covid vaccine curiosity and rule out all those doubts which may lead to generate the hesitancy to the world's greatest vaccination campaign 


Coronavaccine is the mile stone of human history and this mile stone needs the help of most responsible citizens of India. The rumours and negetive news are easy to spread but now its time to spread positivity. We see the news of minor adverse reactions by vaccine in development phase but can't spread the positivity of the successful volunteers. If social media is the weapon for the negativity, let's make it the antidote by spreading the positivity.

 

Though positivity can be also a rumour, one must check the fact of the information. Try maximum to get the answer of our questions from the authorised persons only rather than vomiting our curiosity on dumbs. It is the micro mission of every health warriors as well as educated and responsible people to develop the trust towards the new hope of human beings. All the religious leaders should take personal interest to win this battle in final phase. All the media celebrities and social media influencers must come forward to rise the awareness. Health personals should be trained enough to satisfy the eagerness of people. All of above must be enriched with the right source of information.

 

Vaccine isn't so far untill we make our minds. Scientists and government are not fool to try it very first to the health warriors. After that all the armed forces will be also administered the same vaccine. Why does any government take risk by vaccinating their army and health warriors first? It's not dangerous as it's being illustrated. So just step forward to be the part of world's biggest vaccination campaign.

 

Final Funda: Due to fear factor even some health workers are also going to conduct the final trial of the covid vaccine on their colleagues first.

The horror show with antibiotic resistance

Nowadays antibiotics are the crucial medicines among all the drugs. All are oversmart enough to consume Azithromycin when sore throat or AmoxyClav when wound with pus or Clindamycin ointment for acne. But they don't know what these mighty molecules are going to be done with the future. All the infections may not require higher antibiotics. Sometimes infection may be due to virus. Here antibiotics are useless or I would say harmful. Antibiotic resistance will be a new disaster before global warming if we don't care. Can you imagine the scenario when your children will be suffering from fever and the medications will not be working for them? Can you imagine the situation of ICUs where all the heroic antibiotics may lose their ability? Can you imagine the era when a surgery will be near to impossible? Yes, we are entering into the era of superbugs. Superbugs will be the new challenge of mankind to survive. As Charles Darvin said everybody has right to survive and thes

Nosocomial infection: The challenging part of the quality care

  Infection from the hospital premises during hospital stay or visit is considered as a hospital acquired infection. Nosocomial infection is the medical term which is used for hospital acquired infection. The word "nosocomial" is made up of two Greek words. The prefix "noso-" comes from "nosus" meaning disease and "-comial" comes from "komeion" meaning to take care of. Nosocomial could therefore refer to any affliction acquired by a patient while under medical supervision. It now refers more narrowly to a hospital-acquired infection. The most important parameter of hospital is nosocomial infection rate. This rate decides the quality of services provided by the hospital authorities. We know that this hallmark metric of quality do not just reveal a number but the essence of the preventive care by the hospital itself. To serve the biggest population while controlling the infections all around the premises is the challenging work in India,

Vaccine nationalism: Will humanity lose the race?

Our vocabulary has been enriched in 2020. In first half of this year we went through 'quarantine', 'lockdown', 'plasma therapy' like words and now in second half we are encountering the words like 'herd immunity', ' clinical trial', 'corona vaccine' etc. In these 2020 dictionary one more word should be added and that is 'vaccine nationalism'. Courtesy: Jakarata Post This word is neither patriotic nor scientific. It is a straight indicator of a race towards vaccine. World is waiting for the antidote of this global pandemic and the vaccine is considered as a solution of this problem atleast. In the beginning of 2020 when corona virus has started spreading all over the world, every country was confused and trying to get help globally. Such countries started talking on helping hand philosophy and what else you can do when you're helpless? But silently developed countries put another hand on vaccine development. Scientists from all
