Do not expect to get to be fully immunized right after receiving your second shot of the vaccine. Immunity takes a while to kick in, and it can take anywhere between 2-3 weeks before you can see antibodies building up in the body. Taking off the 😷 mask after getting vaccinated is not an option to consider. 🙏THANKS BE TO GOD #2nddosedone💉✔️ #sinovac #healthypilipinas #bidasolusyonsacovid19 #fullyvacinnated (at City Health Office Cotabato City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShICm_B2qg/?utm_medium=tumblr
