  Reconsidering Taking the Vaccine

  I live in Bronx, New York. When the pandemic struck, it affected everyone tremendously whether you contracted the virus or not. New York is a densely populated place and it immediately required a shut down of all day to day activities due to the soaring virus. It was so impactful that my school had to be closed and I could not go out with my friends on the weekends anymore due to the fact that all business places were closed. Many people in New York contracted the virus which at one point had the highest Coronavirus cases. It made my family and I very depressed to be stuck at home all day and worrying if anyone of us would be the next person to be personally affected by the virus. During the pandemic, which is still current, the introduction of the vaccine made me feel very relieved. Even though it is not a cure for the virus but it would help to fight the virus if you do contract it, and it also lessens the likeliness that it is contracted. This was such good news to my ears. When I found out that there were different types of the vaccines I was very skeptical about it because I wondered to myself about the different component that each might have. Following this, there was word that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was causing bloodclots. This made me extremely scared to take any of the vaccines overall even though I want to be secured from the virus but I worry that the vaccine would not agree well with my body. This was a mental battle within my family if we want to take the vaccine or not.

  News Article: Graham County (AZ) now with less than 150 active documented COVID-19 cases

  "By Jon Johnson, jonjohnsonnews@gmail.com SAFFORD – Graham County has had very few new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the past month, lowering its numbers to just 147 active cases as of Thursday. According to the Graham County Department of Health and Human Services, Graham County has had a total of 5,355 confirmed cases for the course of the pandemic, with 5,132 listed as being recovered, 147 active, and 76 deaths in more than a year. No new cases were recorded Thursday, and, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services COVID-19 school dashboard, Graham County had just a 1 percent positivity rate as of the week of March 14. That is good for a tie with Apache County for the second-lowest percent positivity rate out of Arizona’s 15 counties. Only Greenlee County, which registered a zero percent positivity rate from Feb. 27 – March 14, had lower. With the lower cases statewide and vaccine rollout, Governor Doug Ducey issued an Executive Order on Thursday, rolling back several COVID-19 mitigation measures involving businesses and gatherings. This comes as other states roll back their COVID-19 mitigation measures as well. The rollout of the various COVID-19 vaccines has picked up steam in the last month, with the state opening up the vaccine to anyone 16 years old or older for the Pfizer vaccine. Anyone 18 years old or older can be administered the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. The San Carlos Apache Healthcare Corporation is holding a free, drive-through vaccine clinic on Saturday, March 27 at the San Carlos High School. No appointment is necessary. The clinic will be administering both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Graham County and Greenlee County are also providing vaccination sites for those 18 and older, and provide the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Greenlee County: According to the Greenlee County Health Department, the county currently has just nine active cases of COVID-19. For the course of the pandemic, Greenlee County has had 568 confirmed positive cases (by far the lowest out of any of Arizona’s 15 counties), with 549 recovered cases, nine active, and 10 deaths."

  コロナワクチン治験中断 参加者が原因不明の病気 米Ｊ＆Ｊ（2020年10月13日）- Corona vaccine clinical trial suspended. Illness of unknown cause by participants. US J & J (October 13, 2020)

  This news is about the stop of clinical trials of the vaccine for COVID-19 virus. I personally was really suspicious about these vaccine because the process is moving too fast and usually vaccine development can take years to be used to the public. アメリカの製薬大手ジョンソン・エンド・ジョンソンは12日、新型コロナウイルスワクチンの全ての治験を一時停止したと発表しました。 治験の参加者１人が原因不明の病気になったのが理由としていますが、症状など具体的な情報は明らかにしていません。 新型コロナワクチンをめぐっては、日本も供給を受けることで合意をしているイギリスのアストラゼネカが９月、副作用の疑いがあるとして、世界的な治験中断に一時追い込まれました。 American pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson announced on the 12th that it has suspended all clinical trials of the new coronavirus vaccine. The reason is that one of the participants in the clinical trial became ill with an unknown cause, but specific information such as the symptoms has not been disclosed. In September, AstraZeneca of the United Kingdom, which has agreed to supply Japan with the new corona vaccine, was temporarily suspended from clinical trials worldwide because of suspected side effects.
