Hello Friends,

I was gone for a while, as I had some full swing online courses going on with Coursera and finally some ounce of solitary laziness with all fresco of emotional condiments of quagmire impossible excuses. I am a lazy doughnut that keeps on being laid back once in a while. But I was also in the process of thinking and analysing about the most important element that has shaken mankind to the brim. Yes, you got it right, our existence notifier, “Corona Virus”, so when I finally wanted to get vaccinated, I made some mental notes.

The first is the pros and cons of the vaccine, which is Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

According to the data from the web, this is the information which I found from the web.

Ref: Vaccine Info

* None of the vaccines contain eggs, gelatin, latex, or preservatives. In addition, all COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earth alloys or any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, or nanowire semiconductors.
Note: Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG is a primary ingredient in osmotic laxatives and oral bowel preparations for colonoscopy procedures, an inactive ingredient or excipient in many medications, and is used in “pegylation” to improve the therapeutic activity of some medications (including certain chemotherapeutics). Also, cross-reactive hypersensitivity between PEG and polysorbates (an excipient in some vaccines and other therapeutic agents) can occur. 

I think every person react differently to the vaccine. I was a bit nervous and anxious and wondered what impact it might lead on me. After seeing some of my friends and hearing so much from different people from various walks of life, I decided to share my personal thoughts on the same. Like it or not, it’s just like a safety net, and we have no choice. It’s a support, but I felt for some time after the dose was a bit drowsy and feverish. Above all, my hand was painful. Although the fever subsided after 2-3 hours, the weird, funny sensation was there. I don’t know which terms to use here. But it’s always good to go, like better late than never.

People stay safe and get vaccinated.
