#Vaccine more efficacious if second dose timed 3 months laterThe pre-print has mentioned that the vaccine efficacy after a single standard dose of vaccine from day 22 to day 90 post #vaccination was 76%, and that protection did not wane during this initial 3-month period. Similarly, #antibody levels were maintained during this time with minimal waning. The paper further stated that the vaccine efficacy was 82.4% with 12 or more weeks to the second dose, compared to 54.9% for those where the booster was given under 6 weeks after the first dose.Nevertheless, while this news and analysis brings hope for delayed vaccine doses or missed vaccine doses for some, it is still too early to conclude anything in this regard.Please find the entire read on our website, health patrol.in.#covidinfo #CovidMyths #covidnews #masks #covidcases #vaccinenews #VaccineInfo #vaccinemyths #VaccineFacts #vaccinereality #mythbusters #realvsfake #askyourdoubts

First COVID Tongue – Now COVID Toes?FACT CHECK

First COVID Tongue – Now COVID Toes?FACT CHECK : REALAccording to the American Academy of Dermatology, doctors around the world have noticed that some patients who test positive for the coronavirus develop discolored and swollen toes. While COVID toes can appear at any age, children, teenagers, and young adults seem most likely to develop this condition.Unlike what the name suggests, COVID toes may develop on your toes, fingers, or both.It is advisable to visit a #Dermatologist immediately, if you see any of these signs because in some cases, #COVID toes go away without treatment, but due to lack of data on the subject, currently, more robust recommendations are awaited.

The COVID-19 vaccine is safe for people taking heart medications
FACT CHECK: REALYes, the #coronavirus #vaccine is safe for people taking #heart #medications. There is currently no reason to think that any heart medication will interact with the coronavirus vaccine itself. Your medication won’t stop the vaccine from working, and the vaccine won’t cause problems with your medication.It is a known fact that people with heart disease or stroke – or in other words, people with risk factors for heart disease and stroke – are at much greater risk from the virus than they are from the vaccine. Therefore, it is advisable for people on heart medications also to take the COVID-19 vaccines.WhatsApp us your queries, link in bio!#vaccinereality #vaccinetruth #vaccineinfo #covaxin #covishield #vaccinenews #medication #askyourdoubts #healthpatrol

Drinking 8 glasses of water is healthy
FACT CHECK : REALIt’s a reasonable goal, an easy to remember number and not that difficult to follow routine.People lose fluid via the #skin, #respiration, fecal fluid and #urinary output. The recommended total daily fluid intake of 3,000 ml for men and of 2,200 ml for women is more than adequate. Higher fluid intake does not have any convincing health benefits, except perhaps in preventing (recurrent) kidney stones.Find out the conditions in which you need less water intake and conditions in which you need more than 8 glasses of water.

The COVID-19 #vaccine is safe for people taking blood thinners like #warfarin or other anticoagulants, clopidogrel or other antiplatelet drugs
FACT CHECK: REAL
The Indian Council of Medical Research (#ICMR) on 29th January 2021 has confirmed that both the COVID-19 vaccines, #Covishield and #Covaxin, approved for emergency use in the country are safe on people on blood thinners such as #aspirin and #clopidogrel.In general, yes, but it is best to let the caregiver who will be giving you the vaccine know if you are taking an anticoagulant and which one, because as with any injection, there is some risk of bleeding at the injection site, for example. So, if you are taking a blood thinner such as #warfarin, or a new anticoagulant, the bleeding may take a little longer to stop and you may get more bruising on your upper arm.@drkkaggarwalofficial#mythbusters #RealVsFake #myths #vaccinecomorbidities #VaccineMaitri #vaccinechallenge #vaccinenews #vaccineinformationFind the entire read on our website and WhatsApp us your queries (LINK IN BIO)

According to a recent report published by the American Cancer Society, a lot of expert medical groups are now recommending that most people with #cancer or a history of cancer should get the #COVID-19 #vaccine once they are in the list of next set of recipients. The Society further clarified that the major concern around vaccines for cancer patients is not whether it would be safe or not, but about how effective it will be, especially in people with weakened #immune systems. This is because some treatments like #chemotherapy (chemo), #radiation, or #immunotherapy can affect the immune system, which might make the vaccine less effective.Still, it is best to discuss the risks and benefits of getting the COVID-19 vaccine with your cancer doctor, who can advise you.Find the entire read on our website#COVID19 #covidmyths #vaccinemyths #vaccineinformation #vaccinenews #vaccinebenefits #covidvaccine #vaccineforall #vaccinecomorbidities.

India has become the fastest country in the world

India has become the fastest country in the world to reach 75 lac COVID-19 #vaccinations (as on 12th February 2021), according to the website of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.Unfortunately, with such encouraging news, there are scamsters on the lookout for making money through fraudulent websites and calls or WhatsApp forwards claiming to have access to #COVID-19 vaccines. Please do not believe these until you have assurance from authenticated sources that the claims are true.
Readers are therefore advised to be extra cautious when dealing with any claims regarding COVID-19 vaccination or registration as any policy, regulation or registration process will be intimated to the public through all official government channels.@drkkaggarwalofficialWatsapp us your queries, link in bio.#fakenews #realnews #mythbusters #covidnews #covidmyths #myths #covidinfo

The vaccine is not 100% protective; the virus is not 100% lethal – should I take my chances?According to the CDC, COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection. Although, current evidence suggests that reinfection with the virus that causes COVID-19 is uncommon in the 90 days after initial infection, experts don’t know for sure how long this protection lasts, and the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 far outweighs any benefits of natural immunity. COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you by creating an antibody (immune system) response without having to experience sickness.@drkkaggarwalofficialFind the entire read on website.
