Q: Can I normally resume my daily life and activity after completing vaccination?
A: After completing vaccination, our immune system will be activated to produce antibodies to protect ourselves from infections. To reach full immunity against COVID-19, it takes 2-3 weeks after the last shot is administered. Nonetheless, there might be a chance of getting COVID-19 infection during this period of time, leading to illness which ranges from mild to fatal. The vaccines do not only reduce the chance of infection, but they also help to mitigate disease severity and reduce mortality rate in case a person becomes infected. More importantly, to minimize the risk of infection while keeping the disease confined, everyone should strictly abide by preventive measures, including wearing a face mask at all times while in public, frequent handwashing with soap or hand sanitizer and maintaining social distancing.
