As more and more countries are approving COVID-19 vaccines after nearly a year of being under lockdown due to the pandemic, it has also triggered a viral Twitter trend about netizens advising others to not worry about “what is in the vaccine” if they do certain things. From ignoring junk food to swimming in a pool in Vegas, the internet users took a range of situations into notice to justify those specific people should not worry about what’s in the immunisation doses probably because of their 'sense of choice’.
For instance, one of the internet users said ‘if you drink from blue-coloured cups in Blackburn without a straw’ then you should not worry about the ingredients in the doses being approved by the governments across the globe. Here are some of the reactions:
Vaccine approval across the globe
The United States has begun immunizations after approving two COVID-19 vaccine candidates by Moderna and Pfizer while UK has approved Pfizer-BioNTech's doses and was the first country in the world to do so. Meanwhile, Germany is set to begin COVID-19 vaccinations on December 27 with first doses being provided to the residents of elderly care homes, said European nation’s health minister Jens Spahn on December 26 as the European Union (EU) is aiming for all 27 member states to begin the coronavirus immunisation on the same day.
While Italy's health minister called COVID-19 vaccine as the "light at the end of the tune", nation's coronavirus emergency commissioner Domenico Arcuri's proposal of starting mass vaccinations from January has also been approved on December 17. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has reportedly called nation's "largest immunisation rollout ever" as her government's decision of rolling out free COVID-19 vaccines to its entire population from mid-2021.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) on December 17 said that all the nations in the Asia-pacific region are not guaranteed to receive early COVID-19 vaccinations and called the leaders to adopt a long-term strategy to handle the pandemic. Meanwhile, the nations that have either begun or have received the first shipments or have proposed vaccine plans include United Kingdom (UK), Russia, Argentina, United States, Israel, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, India, Australia among others.
