Neri Miranda has received her second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and urged fellow pregnant moms to get the shot as well.
The actress-turned-entrepreneur on Friday happily took to social media that she recently completed her COVID-19 vaccination.
“Second dose, done! Yehaaaay! 2days ago, nakumpleto na bakuna ko,” wrote Neri in a Facebook post.
Neri shared that she has been receiving messages asking if she will have herself vaccinated while she is pregnant.
As a response, Neri posted a photo of her getting the jab, and related why she decided to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Covid is real. Mas nararamdaman namin na totoo siya dahil everytime na magbubukas kami ng Facebook, ang dami na naming kakilalang namamatay dahil sa Covid. Marami ang biglaan. Marami rin ang mga buntis,” stated Neri.
According to Neri, she first consulted her OB-Gyne if it’s safe to get vaccinated despite being heavily pregnant.
“We asked my OB Gyne kung safe ba magpabakuna. Mas gusto nyang may bakuna ako para hindi lang ako ang protected pati na rin si Cash. Binigyan ako ng doktora ko ng medical certificate/clearance na pwede ako magpabakuna,” shared Neri.
Neri also shared the side effects she felt after getting the shot, including drowsiness and a sore arm.
“Hindi naman ako nilagnat nung 1st dose ko. Inantok lang ako, bagsak ako agad, hehe! Pero naligo muna ako bago matulog. 2nd dose, hindi pa rin ako nilagnat o nanghina. Medyo mabigat lang sa arm ko, parang nabangga sa door, ganun lang. Tapos may pasa ako. Pero pasain naman kase ako. So far, ok naman ako. Ayun din, sobrang inantok lang din ako after,” she aid.
Neri then advised and encouraged fellow pregnant moms to do the same.
“Sa lahat ng pregnant, wag po kayong matakot magpabakuna. Tanungin nyo ang OB Gyne nyo kung kailan kayo pwede magpabakuna. Ang alam ko may certain months bago magpabakuna. Kaya sa doctor natin tayo makinig. Mas alam nila yan.
“Hindi masakit yung gamot. Mas masakit pa yung swab! Manipis lang yung needle, kaya kayang kaya nyo yan! Para sa pamilya natin! Let us all be responsible,” she added.
