The pandemic has resulted to a lot of concerns in the lives of the people. From being infected by the deadly virus, to getting vaccinated, and even financial concerns as many jobs were displaced.
It is our attitude that will spell a difference in how we cope up with this challenging and dreaded situation. Are we going to allow ourselves to throw in the towel and seemingly stuck in the fatalistic outlook? Or are we going to take the necessary steps to take on an action plan that anticipates the worst and prepares us for it? We cannot embrace a defeatist attitude. A strong mindset that treads against the worst-case scenario is what Filipino resiliency is all about.
The next best thing available to defeating the Coronavirus 2019 (Covid19) is to get the anti-virus vaccine injections. And the next best thing to embracing all the accepted precautionary health safety measures is to get insurance protection.
A number of vaccines have already been delivered to the country, and Filipinos are encouraged to get their jabs to help lessen the transmission of the deadly virus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States of America (US), apart from preventing the spread of Covid19, getting vaccinated offers protection such as natural immunity from the virus.
It also lessens the chance of re-infection, as the vaccine helps create an antibody response in a person’s immune system.
Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said that a massive rollout will be done for groups not belonging to the categories of frontliners and senior citizens as more vaccines are expected to be shipped into the country.
The government is aiming to vaccinate 70 million Filipinos by the end of 2021.
Incidentally, the private sector, including the major conglomerates, had also purchased recognized vaccines for use of its millions of employees.
As an added protection for risks brought about by Covid19, Filipinos are also encouraged to have insurance protection.
“It is important that Filipinos have the best possible protection from all sorts of risks especially during this time of uncertainty,” said Malayan Insurance Co., Inc. vice chairperson Yvonne S. Yuchengco.
Malayan Insurance has recently rolled out its Vital Cover insurance product, a protection plan to help manage the ill effects of Covid19.
Vital Cover is an accident and hospitalization cover that provides loss of life cash assistance, a daily hospital income benefit for a maximum hospital confinement of up to 14 days, when the policyholder is stricken with Covid19, Dengue or Chikungunya.
Malayan Insurance is a member of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC).
