IS IT POSSIBLE TO CATCH COVID-19 AFTER RECEIVING A BOOSTER SHOT?



COVID-19 vaccinations can help prevent severe disease, hospitalisation, and death by reducing the risk of infection. Additionally, the COVID-19 immunizations aid in infection prevention. CoViD-19 can still infect those who have received their vaccines. Immunised individuals are less likely to develop severe symptoms when contracting COVID-19 than unvaccinated individuals.

Regarding the more contagious Omicron version of COVID-19, statistics reveal that a second dose of the vaccine is more effective than a single dose.

According to medical experts, the best defence against the novel Omicron variation and against all viral variants that cause COVID-19 is one complete vaccination dose followed by a booster shot several months later.

The first COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was approved on December 11, 2020. Since then, studies have revealed that unvaccinated people have a five-fold increased chance of infection and a ten-fold increased risk of hospitalisation or death due to COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immunity against the virus fades within six to eight months, according to research from Israel and the United States. Especially concerning is the fact that the highly contagious Omicron strain was discovered in South Africa in November.

EXPERIENCES BEFORE AND AFTER THE COVID-19

Image
  Before the covid-19 virus spread, we all had lives. Everyone and everything was busy and noisy until the virus came and took it away. Before the lockdown, we had family get-togethers, union meetings, parties, and complete work, school, and social life. At the time of the virus, all of these changes happened quickly and all at once. Everything is starting to return to normal, but we can't be too confident because a cure hasn't yet been discovered. Still, it's best to keep up with the covid-19 safety measures , get the vaccine shots, and get tested with the PCR test for covid-19 or other covid-19 tests. We were affected by the sudden spread of the virus and the total lockdown. But it did help family life, work life, and children who didn't get enough care and attention from their parents. Couples got closer to their kids, and their kids got closer to their parents. There was less stress at work because there weren't as many face-to-face meetings, and kids got to s

BLOOD DONATION DURING COVID-19: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES.

Image
  Blood transfusions are an integral part of healthcare in all medical facilities. With the dawn of the pandemic, the adequate and safe availability of blood to meet patient needs became a significant concern. The fear of getting infected with the virus while transfusing blood was a huge problem. Blood transfusion centres in many parts of the country faced difficulties, thus generating a shortage of blood services and blood donors. New policies were implemented, like providing spacious rooms, free blood screening, and keeping the beds at a distance were to this effect. Transfusions of blood and blood products save lives every year. There is a need for blood and plasma every day to assist covid-19 patients, cancer patients, new mothers and babies, people with immune inadequacies, and people who need surgery. Currently, there’s no evidence anywhere in the world that coronavirus or other respiratory viruses can get transmitted through blood transfusion. Nevertheless, there are some advant
