Many social media posts, newspapers and rumours have been circling around regarding the covid19 vaccine reactions, injuries and deaths. I've also heard about a movement called Awaken India Movement not sure what this is for, but it seems the movement was initiated online which is more confusing. People are already confused and in dilemma of whether to take the vaccine or not. It is creating more fear and reluctancy in the minds of the people. Is there any organisation, agency or health department and government authority to educate the public and spread awareness about the vaccines and health?

I think people are worried because they think the vaccine has been made too fast and it should be tested more. It is true that the covid 19 vaccine is new but what people don't necessarily know is that the work on the building blocks for the vaccine was started some years ago. The article relates to the oxford vaccine but explains how it was made so fast...it actually wasn't made that fast it was just tweaked!!
Good fortune and scientific brilliance were behind the Covid-19 vaccine being developed so quickly.

@Bryanwati I think it is important for people to do research. I actually paid a few subscriptions to scientific publications and learned loads before I had my first jab.

Most social media platforms add the link to WHO or national department of health to educate about both the virus and vaccine, whenever key words are mentioned. However, people will believe in whatever they set their mind to, no authority can change their opinion. I listen to everyone, then I try to understand where they come from and what their intentions are. I also listen because sometimes there is some truth in "conspiracies". In fact, most conspiracies are based on truths, this is also why they tend to be believable. It's been months since vaccines were given. Of course, we don't know yet the long-term effects on humans, but we learned many other things during this time. For instance, young people aren't given AstraZeneca in most places, after many cases of "side effects" have been reported.

@Bryanwati The more people get vaccinated and the more we know about side effects, so we are the lab rats as time passes. As there have been several lab rats before me, I felt quite safe in getting shot. Next month I will get the second dose.

Any offical research will claim the vaccine to be safe, but the truth it's still and will continue to undergo chlinical trials for an addational four years minium, before it can be approved by the FDA. It's autherized and being pumpped out in mass doses, making the plubic the test subjects for trials. So I say go with your gut and how you feel about vaccines in general, before getting the jab.

@TheHorse Pregnancy is a different thing, I didn't see that coming for vaccine. Let's wait what medical officers have to say about that, your concern alerts the community. Thanks

I assume there are, in all countries. Here in the US, there are still people hesitant to take the vaccine. Of course, politics plays a role.

Well I know that it is for protection but it depends also if it is suitable to your health because like me I have hypertension of course I also have to think what will be the response of the medicine before I apply it to me since I have that because our life is only one.

@janethwayne Yes I agree , we have to check our health condition first before we dive into vaccination

People are right and their being worried is okay as the vaccine is launched early in the market. Had there been more trial people would have accepted it easily.

@sjvg1976 vaccine is like cure to most people so they just took the shots as early as it arrives in the market.

In my country, there are enough education from the government to ensure that we get the right information but of course at the same time, there will be some side information which the government did not confirm or deny where we will have to read with a pinch of salt.
