Have you received the Covid-19 vaccine? Or have you been vaccinated? Or maybe even
through it’s your turn, you are still not sure about the vaccination? You don’t need to worry at all
about Covid-19 vaccination because, besides being safe, the Covid-19 vaccine can also provide
many benefits for you. Here are three benefits of Covid-19 vaccination that you need to know.
First, vaccines can prevent covid-19 from infecting your body. Vaccines are currently
available to protect against at least 20 diseases, such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza
and measles. According to WHO, the presence of existing vaccines is estimated to have
prevented 2 to 3 million deaths each year. Covid-19 vaccination can protect you by creating
antibodies or the immune system in the body to fight the SARS-Cov-2 virus which causes The
Covid-19 disease.
Second, vaccines can help you protect those around you. When you are vaccinated, you
protect not only yourself but also your family and the people around you. This is because not
everyone can receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Currently, vaccines are only given to those who are
healthy, do not have any serious disease, are over 18 years of age, and other requirements. Those
who cannot be vaccinated rely on you who can be vaccinated to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
The more people get vaccinated the less likely infected people pass disease.
Third, vaccines can protect and help health workers. Did you know that the Covid-19
pandemic makes many hospitals burdened because of limited facilities and resources? It is not
surprising that many hospitals reached their capacity to admit Covid-19 and non-Covid-19
patients. Health workers who care for Covid-19 patients must endure wearing Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) for an extended period to protect them from Covid-19. With the advent of
vaccines and more people getting vaccinated, the infected people and the transmission rate will
certainly decrease. This reduces the burden on health workers and health facilities. Health
workers can dedicate their efforts, funds and equipment to helping patients with severe
symptoms or other diseases and preventing the build-up of patients in the hospital.
The three benefits above are some of many benefits of getting vaccine. There are indeed many
other benefits of getting vaccine.
Question: Why do vaccines can protect and help health workers?
A. This reduces the burden on health workers and health facilities.
B. Currently, vaccines are only given to those who are healthy, do not have any serious disease.
C. Besides being safe, the Covid-19 vaccine can also provide many benefits.
D. When you are vaccinated, you protect not only yourself.
E. Those who cannot be vaccinated rely on you who can be vaccinated.

Fourth, with vaccines, a pandemic can end soon. You definitely want the pandemic to end
soon, right? So now it is time! If you get vaccinated and more people get vaccinated against
Covid-19, there will be a greater self-defence for so many people. This will encourage the
formation of herd immunity in which residents in certain areas are immune to a disease. Herd
immunity will break the chain of the Covid-19 pandemic as more people get vaccinated. Of
course, to stop a pandemic, all resources must be mobilized as well as possible. Receiving
vaccinations and maintaining self-care by wearing a mask, keeping your distance and washing
your hands will optimize the likelihood that this pandemic will end soon.

Reasons Why a Healthy Environment be a Human Right
World Health Organization estimates that 23 per cent of all deaths are linked to
“environmental risks” like air pollution, water contamination and chemical exposure. Here are
some of the ways
that a compromised planet is now compromising the human right to health.
First, the destruction of wild spaces facilitates the emergence of zoonotic diseases. The
alteration of land to create space for homes, farms and industries has put humans in increasing
contact with wildlife and has created opportunities for pathogens to spill over from wild animals
to people. An estimated 60 per cent of human infections are of animal origin. And there are
plenty of other viruses poised to jump from animals to humans.
Question: What is this issue important?
A. Because 23 per cent of all deaths are linked to “environmental risks”
B. Because it is important
C. Because it jumps from animals to humans
D. Because it compromised planet.
E. Because it creates opportunities for pathogens

Second, air pollution reduces the quality of health and lowers life expectancy. Across the
globe, nine in 10 people are breathing unclean air, harming their health and shortening their life
span. Every year, about 7 million people die from diseases and infections related to air pollution,
more than five times the number of people who perish in road traffic collisions.

human diets have become 37 per cent more similar, with just 12 crops and five animal species
providing 75 per cent of the world’s energy intake. Today, nearly one in three people suffers from
some of malnutrition and much of the world’s population is affected by diet-related diseases,
such as heart diseases, diabetes and cancer.
