To bring this pandemic to an end, experts believe that a large share of the world’s population needs to be immune to the virus. The safest way to achieve this is with a COVID-19 vaccine. 

Within less than 12 months after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, several research teams from different countries rose to the challenge and developed vaccines that can protect one from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

As we speak, the biggest vaccination drive in history is underway. According to data collected by Bloomberg, more than 797 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered across 154 countries. Roughly, 18 million doses a day. In the US, 190 million doses have already been given. Last week, 3.21 million doses were administered per day. Roughly, 36% of the entire US population has been administered at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Vaccine Cards: Keeping a Track

Most COVID-19 vaccines available (with the exception of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine)  require 2 doses within 4-8 weeks apart on average. While the first dose for most vaccines starts boosting your immunity, only when you are fully vaccinated, can you start doing more. 

It is important to remember that you are still required to wear your masks, maintain social distancing protocols and wash your hands at regular intervals. 

For employees returning to office, it is essential to carry a vaccine card or a vaccine passport. The vaccine card will provide information such as the number of doses administered, the date, when is the next dose and so on. This will make it easier for employers to manage the return-to-office process. If an employee is not vaccinated at all, efforts can be made to get them the same. 

Safety has no limit. Every small step we take can determine our future. The future of our world. We know that COVID-19 is not going anywhere anytime soon. But by driving magnanimous COVID-19 vaccine efforts, we can reduce the spread; we can save many more lives. 

So, let’s do our part. Before you start settling in your office cubicle, make sure you are vaccinated. Find out the nearest COVID-19 vaccine center.
