Vaccines against COVID-19 were created to protect people against the coronavirus that is harmful to health. Each of the preparations available in Poland significantly reduces the risk of developing COVID-19. However, if the vaccinated person becomes ill, thanks to the vaccine they can count on a much milder course of the infection. Vaccines reduce the risk of hospitalization and complications after contracting COVID-19.

This protection also extends to other people – those who cannot receive the vaccine for health reasons, but also to young children, for example. A sufficiently high level of vaccination of the society will constitute a natural protective barrier against the virus. For herd immunity, it is imperative that the COVID-19 vaccine is taken by at least 70%. citizens. In Poland, it was not possible to reach even 50 percent.

You will not be a laboratory for mutations

Coronavirus mutates, so that more and more dangerous and more infectious variants are circulating around the world. Like the Delta, which swiftly replaced the British-derived Alpha variant. But the formation of mutations is closely related precisely to unvaccinated people. It is the organism of such a person that is the “laboratory” for the virus.

“Unvaccinated humans are potential” factories for new variants of the coronavirus, “said Dr. William Schaffner, professor at the Department of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in an interview with CNN. – The more unvaccinated people, the more possibilities the virus can reproduce. When this happens, the virus keeps mutating and eventually it can develop into an extremely dangerous variant.

You will have a peaceful vacation

A person fully vaccinated against COVID-19 receives a covid certificate, which is respected, for example, in all countries belonging to the European Union. This means that just two weeks after your second dose (or the first dose if you are taking Johnson & Johnson) you will be able to move freely. The one you had before the pandemic.

Thanks to the covid certificate, you will not only have no problem crossing borders between countries, but you will also stop being afraid of changing regulations. Vaccinated persons are not subject to the quarantine obligation.

You’ll have more freedom

The French president has decided to impose severe restrictions on people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. They are not allowed to visit restaurants, pubs, cinemas or use public transport. A record number of French citizens were vaccinated for vaccination during the first day after these restrictions came into force.

Therefore, other countries’ authorities are likely to follow the same lead. Anyway, even today in Poland vaccinated people enjoy slightly more freedom – they do not count towards the limits of people admitted to concerts, communion parties or weddings.

“I think this is the right way to show that there are some benefits to vaccination. Even if one is unwilling to accept these basic, substantive health benefits, there are certain benefits, let’s call them tangible, that we can achieve through immunization. Already, many people are vaccinating without conviction, but out of pragmatism. A healthy calculation shows that it is worthwhile – in this way they will avoid, for example, quarantine after returning from vacation – said Prof. Andrzej Fal.

A possible lockdown may not apply to you

Experts predict that Poland will soon face the fourth wave of the pandemic due to the spread of the highly infectious Delta mutation. Considering how many people in our country still have not been vaccinated against COVID-19, it may turn out that another lockdown will be necessary. In order to stop the increases in the number of infections.

Dr. Tomasz Karauda in the Onet Rano program stated that if another lockdown was necessary, it would apply to unvaccinated people.
