editorial 6 October 2020 — June 2021 TWO JABS ARE BETTER THAN NONE On February 28, 2021, the first batch of COVID-19 vaccine doses arrived in the Philippines which will be rolled out and shall commence the national inoculation campaign the next day. According to the Department of Health (DOH), all frontliners, such as health care workers, police and military personnel are the initial target of the government to receive the shots. However, the Philippine government should put out an order that will prompt all Filipinos to get vaccinated if it wants to ditch the virus. The Corona virus has drastically changed the lifestyles of all peoples—the worst part is it actually taking the lives of so many around the world. Since it caused a pandemic, scientists and other medical experts needed to take quick action to find a cure for this DISCLOSE (the identity of COVID positive cases) deadly infection. To fight any viral disease, a vaccine is the best solution. Only when 95% of the world’s population has been fully or else we risk being vaccinated shall the world get ‘herd immunity.’ This is the moment all THIS CLOSE (to contracting the virus and add to its spread) human beings wish to happen in this very difficult time—to get back to the normal life. Therefore, the Philippines shall aim to reach the same The plague of Covid-19 is no longer new to us. We are now more percentage, if not higher, to have that freedom again. DOH has shown aware of what it is and what it does compared to when it first broke out.

It called its program “Resbakuna” which means, ourselves from it. together we can get rid of the virus and get back to our normal lives. Today, we are no longer as afraid as we were back then. And that is In spite of the fear and losses the Corona virus has spawned, because of information. During the time when vaccines were still unavailable, there is still a number of people who do not want to take the shots. It proper information was our greatest weapon against it. The information that appears that they are afraid to get vaccinated because of the little gave us an advantage over it—the strong point of identifying the enemy.

The fear of this virus is not yet gone but it is also not that great anymore. Knowing that someone is positive in an area is no longer new so this will not instigate panic. We need to take into consideration that disclosing the identity of Covid positive people in an area is one of the ways in solving this problem. It is an effective step to lessen the number of positive cases daily. It is what we should do if we want to go back to normal living again.
