Assalamualaikum
To be Vaxxed or not to be Vaxxed? – That is the question!
From the beginning of the 2022 school year, all Education Staff in SA must be vaccinated against COVID 19.
I made the decision to be vaccinated in June this year following my husband’s vaccination.
To be quite honest with you, I was hesitant. I didn’t feel comfortable having a substance injected in me that hadn’t been around long. I’d also heard bad reports about the Astra Zeneca vax which made me nervous.
However, I have had both my jabs now and I feel very relieved and proud of myself that I have done this.
- I am now protecting our community and our children the best way I can
- The side effects from the vaccine are far less than the effects of the disease
- I am now able to go to hospitals and Nursing Homes to see my loved ones without fear of passing COVID onto them
- I am feeling more and more confident about travelling
It’s so important that our children 16 and over are vaccinated. Please talk to you medical professionals about getting this done.
One really important thing to remember is listen to the experts.
Do not rely on the misleading misinformation (fake news) of unqualified social media scare mongers.
The basic rules still apply
- Social distance (1.5 metres)
- Wear a face mask when out and about
- wash hands thoroughly or use hand sanitizer
- QR code
- listen to and adhere to current requirements regarding restrictions
- Get vaxxed!
Sure, we are not quite safe yet from COVID and its variants, but I’d rather be vaxxed than not vaxxed.
I’ve rolled up my sleeve to be vaxxed! Will you?
Have a great summer break with your family and we will see you all back again next year!
Kind regards
