00:00After we get the vaccine, it's like other vaccines, our immunity recognizes that the

00:10vaccine component and then we'll make antibodies against that virus, okay?

00:18So and that antibodies will remain in our immunity.

00:22So in case that the patient's exposed to the COVID virus, that antibodies will recognize

00:27that virus easily and we have developed antibodies to fight against the virus.

00:33Vaccine will give us immunity and will give us the protections against the virus but it's

00:38not 100%.

00:40No vaccines is available which will give us 100% immunity against the COVID vaccine.

00:47Still we have to follow the precautions measurement, still we have to wear the mask, to maintain

00:51the physical distance, to limit the social gathering and follow the government instructions

00:56in terms of the precautions measurement.

00:59From what we observed that everybody who took the vaccine, they were having mild symptoms

01:05of mild fever, mild like blocked nose which they can take paracetamol or over-the-counter

01:11medication and they can resume working immediately.

01:14There is no need for a sick leave after the vaccine unless it's indicated, unless the

01:19medical conditions is indicated.

01:22There is no such advice to isolate those who are taking the vaccines from those who did

01:28not take.

01:29However, if you have elderly in the family or patients with immunocompromised, you should

01:34take care with them, especially if the others are not sure about their status or the COVID

01:40status, you have to take care with them, wearing the mask, maintain the physical distance,

01:47the same apply as others.

01:49So once it is registered, they will come to the assessment room, so nurse will call

01:53and they will do the assessment, they will check the history, they will ask any medications

01:57they are taking, allergic they are asking and then after assessment, complete assessment,

02:03we will give the vaccination, we will keep the client for 20 minutes observation and

02:08patient is okay, there is no reaction, nothing, we will discharge the client.
