Which is the Best Covid Vaccine?

In December 2019, an unknown virus was reported to have struck the Wuhan district, China. After some investigations, it is reported that this virus is a new virus strain and is very deadly. Besides, it is also noted that this virus spreads very quickly and can kill people within just a short amount of time. The virus was later known as Covid-19. Covid-19 virus originated from a Coronavirus mutation and has since killed thousands of people in almost every country in this world. By now, we all know that this virus is a huge threat to humanity and the only solution that can eradicate this virus for good will be the corona virus vaccine. If Covid-19 vaccine can be quickly established, then there is a high chance that it can help fight and remove this virus for good.

Since it was considered as an outbreak in February 2020 by WHO (World Health Organization), many countries had then adopted protocols that can minimize the risk of getting Covid-19 infection. The protocols applied are mostly the same in every country. These include wearing a mask in a crowded place, practice social distancing of at least 1 meter apart, sanitize the hands regularly, clean the environment regularly, avoid going to any crowded place, limit movement and also record every movement so that it is easier to keep track of possible infected people. These are all the main protocols that can help limit the spread of Covid-19 transmission. However, protocols are not enough. As mentioned above, the only solution that can eradicate this disease is the coronavirus vaccine.

In early 2021, it was announced that the Covid-19 vaccine is done and ready to be distributed. By March 2021, the majority of the countries in this world had received their vaccine and started the vaccination program. As of now, there are some vaccines that are available and can be considered safe to use. However, you must be wondering about which vaccine is the best? To answer this question, we must know that currently there are three notable coronavirus vaccines, which are called Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. In determining which one is the best vaccine, we can look at two main criteria. These include the vaccine effectiveness and also the side effects that it possesses.

All of the vaccines are considered to be very effective in preventing Covid-19 infection. In terms of statistics, Pfizer is the most effective vaccine with 95% recorded effectiveness. It is well-known right now that Pfizer vaccine is the first choice in most of the country in this world. However, what about other vaccines such as Moderna and Johnson & Johnson? Well, statistics show that Moderna is also quite effective. It is reported that the Moderna vaccine has 94.1% effectiveness in preventing Covid-19 illness. That is actually pretty impressive as well. The other vaccine, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine shows 85% effectiveness in preventing severe Covid-19 illness.

The second criteria are side effects possessed by each vaccine. All three vaccines are reported to give side effects such as pain at the injection site, headache, fatigue, muscle ache and nausea. It is also reported that both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines give chills, fever, joint pain and also swollen lymph nodes after the second dose. To summarize, obviously on paper Pfizer will be the best vaccine available. However, as shown by the impressive statistics of all vaccines, the best vaccine for now is any vaccine that is available for you. After all, choosing not to get a vaccine at all will obviously expose yourself to Covid-19. Thereby, go to the nearby hospital and get vaccinated.
