In some communities, the issue of the Covid-19 vaccine and vaccination is still confusing. To clarify this matter, President University (PresUniv), in collaboration with BNI Life, invited dr. Siti Yunita from Permata Bekasi Hospital to provide socialization about this vaccine. The socialization event, which took place on Wednesday (24/2), was conducted through webinars.
Yunita explained that the Covid-19 vaccine is very safe because it has gone through the preclinical test (laboratory and animal tests) and clinical trials (humans). "So it is safe and lawful to use," said Yunita. Currently, Indonesia has passed one vaccination period for health workers, followed by a second period, namely vaccination for public service workers. In the next step, it is the turn of the vulnerable and the general public. "Those who have been infected with Covid-19 can also receive the vaccine, but it must be three months after testing negative," said Yunita.
Yunita further explained that humans could not be immune to the virus - even though they have been vaccinated. Even though they have been vaccinated, people still have to apply 3M, namely wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance. "This must always be done, first when having to do activities outside the home," he concluded firmly. (Lita Gabriella, PR team)
Sosialisasi Vaksinasi Covid-19 di PresUniv
Di sebagian masyarakat, isu tentang vaksin dan vaksinasi Covid-19 masih simpang siur. Untuk mengklarifikasi soal ini, President University (PresUniv), bekerja sama dengan BNI Life, mengundang dr. Siti Yunita dari RS Permata Bekasi untuk memberikan sosialisasi seputar vaksin ini. Acara sosialisasi yang berlangsung Rabu (24/2) dilakukan melalui webinar.
Yunita menjelaskan bahwa vaksin Covid-19 sangat aman karena sudah melalui tahap uji praklinis (uji laboratorium dan hewan) dan uji klinis (pada manusia). “Jadi sudah aman dan halal untuk digunakan,” tegas Yunita. Saat ini Indonesia sudah melewati periode satu vaksinasi untuk petugas kesehatan, lalu menyusul periode ke-2, yakni vaksinasi petugas layanan publik. Pada tahap berikutnya giliran masyarakat rentan dan umum. “Mereka yang pernah terinfeksi Covid-19 juga bisa menerima vaksin, namun harus tiga bulan setelah dinyatakan negatif,” jelas Yunita.
Papar Yunita lebih lanjut, manusia tidak bisa kebal virus—meski sudah divaksin. Untuk itu meski sudah divaksin, masyarakat tetap harus menerapkan 3M, yakni memakai masker, mencuci tangan, dan menjaga jarak. “Ini harus selalu dilakukan, terlebih ketika harus beraktivitas di luar rumah,” pungkasnya, tegas.
