KUALA LUMPUR: Health worker Nurul Ezuahani Samad Fatimi, 32, is thankful to have completed both doses of the vaccine at the end of March, as this protective “shield” has allowed her body’s natural defences to develop immunity against more serious infection. Nurul Ezuahani, a radiographer at a hospital in the capital city, had mixed feelings when she tested positive for Covid-19 on July 7, more so because she suffers from asthma and is overweight. “My immediate concern was what is going to happen if my husband and two children are also infected. I can’t imagine how it would be if I had been infected with the more contagious and severe variants before getting vaccinated. Throughout her quarantine period in a hotel room, Nurul Ezuahani said she did not take any medicine but only vitamin C supplements and maintained a healthy diet.
