In her recent Instagram post, KC Concepcion admitted at how she’s been seeking to find out about any COVID-19 vaccine available at present while trying not to appear stressed at the same time.
The actress-turned-entrepreneur seemed to have learned her lessons and made an effort to be a ‘good example’ to many.
Concepcion was among those protocol violators, who did not wear a mask during the controversial birthday party of her good friend Tim Yap in Baguio City on January 17.
This time, she seemed, by all accounts to be sharing the lessons and educating her fans about the continuous pandemic.
“Me trying to learn about every vaccine available out there and trying not to look stressed. Have you guys spoken to your doctors about this? I’m also hoping vaccines will be offered for free to all Filipino citizens, like they are in other countries, if they are safe, handled well, and more than 90% effective… Ang dami kasing misinformation or conspiracy theories, pero ang dami din naman solid na science behind the facts to all our questions. Lots to learn,” @itskcconcepcion on Instagram

As the COVID-19 pandemic has persisted globally, the vaccines still being developed and distributed have been the brightest hope of stopping the pandemic.
However, individuals have been sharing a lot of claims from misinformation and conspiracy theories that circulated online. It puzzled a lot of people whether these COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective or not.
Claims that vaccines are ineffective because of rapid development, that vaccines can cause autism. Some vaccines that contain microchips or anything else that is not in the official vaccine ingredients will alter one’s genetic code. Other vaccines that have severe side effects were few among the false information cited.
But according to the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency responsible for the international public well-being, vaccines work by preparing one’s immune system to fend off bacteria and viruses, prevent illnesses, and even save millions of lives.
There is still more to discover about the available vaccines. Humans must be more responsible in fighting against misinformation. They need to continue proper hygiene by regular handwashing, wear face masks, and observe physical distancing. Also, share only verified information from official health sources and reliable news sites.
