COVID-19 vaccine: Side effects, distribution, and differences between coronavirus vaccines
-
Not SyncedThe people who are going to be prioritized
to receive the vaccines -
Not Syncedare healthcare workers
who are on the front lines, -
Not Syncedas well as anybody
who works in a hospital, -
Not SyncedSkilled nursing facilities
account for about 6% of the population, -
Not Syncedbut almost 40% of the deaths due to COVID.
-
Not SyncedSo these are very high-risk individuals
for bad outcomes from COVID. -
Not SyncedIt looks like it's the same
kind of side effects -
Not Syncedthat you would get from influenza
or a tetanus shot. -
Not SyncedYou get a sore arm for a day or two,
maybe a headache or fatigue, -
Not Syncedand then that goes away.
-
Not SyncedThere's no way that you can get COVID
from the coronavirus vaccine. -
Not SyncedThere's absolutely no way.
-
Not SyncedIt's just a small fragment of the RNA
-
Not Syncedthat encodes for a small portion
of the spike protein. -
Not SyncedSo it doesn't replicate,
it can't replicate, -
Not Syncedand it can't cause COVID.
-
Not SyncedWe're going to have to be masking
and social distancing -
Not Syncedfor the foreseeable future.
-
Not SyncedWhen we'll be able to stop masking
and social distancing -
Not Syncedis when we achieve
some level of herd immunity -
Not Syncedwithin our communities.
-
Not SyncedThat's going to take 60 to 70%
of the population to be immune. -
Not SyncedRight now, through infection,
-
Not Syncedif people are immune after infection,
which we're still not sure, -
Not Syncedthere's been less than 10% of people
in the US who have been infected. -
Not SyncedAnd then when the vaccine comes out,
-
Not Syncedit's going to come out
in limited quantities, -
Not Syncedand so we're not going to be able
to vaccinate everybody all at once. -
Not SyncedSo we anticipate that we will be able
to achieve that 60 to 70% immunity -
Not Syncedeither through infection plus immunization
-
Not Syncedin maybe the middle of 2021,
maybe the end of 2021. -
Not SyncedWe'll just have to see.
-
Not SyncedThere are three main vaccines,
-
Not Syncedand two of them
are messenger RNA vaccines, -
Not SyncedmRNA,
-
Not Syncedand those are the ones
produced by Pfizer as well as Moderna. -
Not SyncedThose vaccines, what they are,
is a fragment of the messenger RNA -
Not Syncedthat encodes for a certain portion
of the spike protein of the coronavirus. -
Not SyncedThat's the vaccine.
-
Not SyncedSo when that is given to us,
-
Not Syncedthen our own cells make that protein,
just a fragment of that protein, -
Not Syncedand then we have an immune
response to that protein. -
Not SyncedThat's how they work to develop immunity.
-
Not SyncedThe other vaccine is similar,
the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. -
Not Syncedit's a non replicating adenovirus vector
-
Not Syncedthat again has a fragment
of the spike protein, -
Not Syncedand so then we get
an immune response to that.
