Morton East students will be taking the COVID-19 vaccine when Available
March 23, 2021
Most students say they will get the Covid-19 vaccine when it becomes available.
According to ScienceNewsforStudents, Some people might believe myths about the COVID-19 vaccine, but in reality, there isn’t anything to worry about. No one has officially died from the vaccine. There have been allergic reactions, with the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines — but no one actually died. Teens will get the same vaccine as adults. Some people also think that after you get the shot that you start getting chills and headaches or even a fever, but in reality, it’s just the immune system “Turning on” — with the only common side effects being a sore arm, aches, and chills.
In a random survey of 26 Morton East students, 22 said they will be getting the COVID-19 vaccine when available.
“I would take the COVID vaccine because I have older people living at home, and they could possibly get sick from it if we don’t take care of each other at home and possibly pass away if COVID hits them,” Senior Maria Zuniga said.
“I will be taking the COVID vaccine as soon as it’s available for me to get. I have a lot of family, and since my grandma is very sensitive (as well as other members of my family), I’d like to take precautions and keep them safe,” Senior Ariana Violantes said.
“I’ll be taking the COVID vaccine because it’s one step I can take to protect myself and the people around me. I’ll want to take it as soon as possible just so things can go back to normal,” Senior Andrik Nava said.
Still, some students won’t.
” I won’t be taking the COVID vaccine yet because I don’t really trust it since it’s the first vaccine that’s been developed. I might get it later on,” Senior Sonia Lopez said.

(Judge) I’m pretty sure taking the vaccine is only for your safety because it allows you to become immune to it. You can still be carrying the virus and transmit it to people wo have weak immune systems. The vaccine is a small amount or a replica of the virus being injected into to you but enough of the virus to get your immune system working to create memory cells so that when the virus comes in contact with you your body is ready to defend against it. Now say your body now knows how to handle the virus and you become immune or asymptomatic before or after the vaccine but others around you don’t you can give it to them.

(Judge) I like how you included both perspectives of the subject. I also agree that taking the COVID vaccine is one step not just to protect yourself but the people around you as well.

Something you did well was show the views and perspective from the Morton students on something that is important like this.

Guillermo H. 5 An edit that can be made is you could probably add more transitions in between your quotes to try and connect it to the other speaker . Other than that the article looks good.

I think something you did well was you giving specific information but some people actually did died by getting the vaccine shot but Great job on the article.

Something that you did well was how you included both perspectives for the question. I agree on the vaccine being secure to take it, I just took the second dose it was not bad at all, it’s honestly secure to take it. I wonder if you will take the vaccine shot or you’ll wait for time to pass by. AN edit that you should try to make is to get another quote of someone that says that they won’t get the vaccine shot so that you can have enough evidence to back up both sides.

Something I liked in your article was they way you made student voices heard because some journalist can be very dull. I also like they way you showed the opposite side of the story and didn’t make the other person sound bad.

I can connect with this because I recently got my first dose of the COVID-19 shot and will be getting the second dose in April.

I can connect to this, because I have gotten the vaccine and there have been no symptoms! It’s safe and it will protect myself and others from getting sick.
