Are Covid-19 vaccines safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mommas?
The answer is YES. In fact, a lot of breastfeeding mommas were already vaccinated and reported that there are no adverse effects on them and their kids. The concern though is for pregnant women. If you are in your first trimester, then it is best to delay vaccination. If you are in your second and third trimester, then it's okay to get vaccinated. However, only Pfizer, AZ, and Sinovac can be administered. #TeamBakuNanay
Read moreHello BakuNanays! I finally got vaccinated with AZ last Friday, July 23, and here are my experiences so far: - Pain and soreness in the injected area, which is normal. - Lightheadedness and mild headache, several hours after getting vaccinated. I got vaccinated around 9am and felt the symptoms around 2pm onwards. - Body pain but with no fever at night until the following day. Sinabayan ko nalang ng Paracetamol para makakilos because you know naman, nanay tayo 😅 I just feel tired and sleepy the entire Saturday, July 24. Come Sunday, July 25, I felt much better and more normal. But masakit parin the injected area 😊 Please get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. #TeamBakuNanay #ProudToBeABakuNanay
Read moreNarinig niyo na ba ang tungkol sa Japanese Encephalitis?
Japanese Encephalitis or JE is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by Culex mosquitoes. It is also the leading cause of brain inflammation in Asia where children are more at risk. Madalas makikita ang Culex mosquitoes sa mga water pools, pig farms, at flooded rice fields. Naguumpisa ang JE sa flu-like symptoms gaya ng lagnat, chills, at headache. Maaari itong mag-progress to severe encephalitis or infection of the brain. Bakuna ang isa sa pinakamabisang paraan para malabanan ang JE. As of this writing, JE vaccine is not yet part of the routine childhood immunization program. You can consult your child's doctor to schedule JE vaccine, especially kung malapit kayo sa mga lugar na nabanggit.
