At least, one vaccine brand is approved in the United States to be safe and effective from emergency use perspective, and one or two may soon follow. To reasonable dads: ignore any biased politicians and biased mainstream news and follow the guide of non-politically-inclined and non-biased medical scientists and take the approved safe and effective COVID-19 available to you, when the green light is given by the government. Which brand is better? Any that is available and approved to be safe and effective by U.S drug regulatory oversight. The other optimistic news is that more vaccines from other companies are still in development and phase-stage and hopefully they are also found to be safe and effective.
What about the preventive measures- social distancing and other safe measures? While optimism increases on winning over COVID-19 pandemic through safe and effective vaccine, preventive measures against the deadly disease should be continuous. Proper and frequent hand washing should be part of personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle, when you touch or you think you touch something unclean anywhere. Also, the preventive measure such as using face mask properly should still be maintained, when in public places.
In addition, maintaining other aspects of wellness is very recommended. Keeping up healthy and balanced diets, taking essential vitamin supplements as recommended by qualified physicians and health experts, and maintaining physical health through safe physical exercise are all part of human wellness. Also, mental health is very essential and it should be taken serious all the time – sleep well, talk to families and reliable friends, and seek help early and speak early to your mental health physicians, if necessary.
