As individuals, we can choose whether or not to have access to the vaccine; but making a decision that benefits us as a society is our commitment. To achieve herd immunity, the proper care of each individual is needed, and to make the most appropriate decision, it is important to be informed.

The first thing we must know is that we are in a moment in which We must act as a human group and not just as individuals. The second is to provide ourselves with genuine sources of information, to promote the habit of speaking with certainty and not to spread or prolong the circulation of false news.

It is true that vaccination is voluntary and cannot be imposed; but it is also necessary that we closely know the scientific advances in this regard, to ensure that we live as a group, when our decisions are important for everyone. OMS states that “people should have all the information about vaccines available to you to protect themselves from COVID-19 and have the freedom to make a decision about whether or not to get vaccinated.

When we pursue collective goals, in a collaborative manner, we achieve our goals very quickly. An example of this has been the development of vaccines against COVID-19. Our next achievement may be immunity. The report says ONU: “The incredible collaboration of scientists with public and private sector actors has achieved the great feat of developing, testing and approving vaccines in record time. However, although we have overcome this first technical hurdle, “The race against the virus is far from over.”

COVID-19 is a communicable disease, meaning that its spread depends on its ability to pass from person to person and cause different effects depending on individual risks. It is in our hands to stop the spread and ensure that we live free of contagion and promote greater awareness and knowledge about the importance of vaccines for our society.

• Not getting vaccinated would have consequences that we can avoid.
• We will be at risk of developing severe symptoms or dying from COVID-19.
• We will not be contributing to a collective goal: herd immunity. This is the main objective of the vaccination plan.
• We put vulnerable people at risk, for whom infection could be fatal.

We are not obliged to receive medical treatment, but when public health is at risk, the collective interest is above of the individual. If we have united to find the appropriate scientific formulas, we can also do so to achieve our immunity. Access to the vaccine not only protects us as individuals, it protects our family and our immediate community.

With Insurance SURA We can confront our uncertainty with up-to-date and truthful information and, with the help of specialists and health science professionals, we can access better reasons to make our decision.
