The announcement of a booster dose after the end of the quarter raised questions and mainly questions about whether citizens will be asked to get vaccinated at regular intervals. According to Evangelos Manolopoulos, Professor of Pharmacology at the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH), Evangelos Manolopoulos, who spoke to Sputnik, there are three factors: contributing to the reduction of the time for the booster dose. One factor is the results that indicate the decline of the immune response – gradually but immediately after the peak – after the second dose. .p. the human body) after the 2nd dose catches a maximum of antibodies and then gradually the antibodies slowly begin to decrease. “Even six months later, most of us are immune, but given some of the high transmissibility of the Delta strain, it seems that they become infected and become positive, perhaps in six months or before six months have passed,” said Mr. Manolopoulos. as the three months are very rare “.

This is in contrast to what we had seen with the two doses that a couple of weeks after the 2nd dose dropped the maximum high immune response and then slowly but surely decreases. Now with the 3rd dose we see that the response remains constant which suggests that the immune response of the 3rd dose has deeper characteristics both quantitatively and qualitatively and will probably last even longer. “So, I think it will last maybe a year and we should not do a 4th installment,” said Mr. Manolopoulos.

Britain, pandemic, coronavirus vaccine, third dose vaccine
Why did the National Commission reduce our appointment with the coronavirus vaccine by three months? It will happen – and if so, do not we make a 4th souvenir? Professor of Pharmacology, Evangelos Manolopoulos responded to Sputnik.
The announcement of a booster dose after the end of the quarter raised questions and mainly questions about whether citizens will be asked to get vaccinated at regular intervals.
Until recently, the 3rd dose of vaccines was after six months and in fact to facilitate citizens’ appointments the platform opened at 5.5 months.
So why did the time of the 3rd dose suddenly decrease from the 2nd dose?
According to the professor of Pharmacology of the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH), Evangelos Manolopoulos, who spoke to Sputnik, There are three factors that contributed to the reduction in the time for the booster dose.
THE a factor are the results of studies that show a decrease in the immune response – gradually but immediately after the peak – after the second dose.
«What emerges from the studies is that (s.s. the human body) after the 2nd dose it reaches a maximum of antibodies and then gradually the antibodies start and decrease. Even six months later most of us have immunity but some given the high transmissibility of Delta strains it seems that they become infected and become positive maybe in six months or before six months have passed“Said Mr. Manolopoulos, clarifying, however, that these incidents”re-infection as fast as three months is very rare “.
The reduction of the time for the 3rd installment, as mentioned by Mr. Manolopoulos, has also been decided by Great Britain, while regarding the decision of Greece, it estimates that “maybe the greek government wants to do everyone is immune in view of the holidays, maybe for citizens to get the vaccine before the holidays».
«I will not say that the 3rd dose in three months is excessive but it is to be completely safe (s.s. the citizens). If I decided I would put the 3rd dose in four or five months” he said.
THE second factor considers that it is the large percentage of unvaccinated “and there is a very large load so the chance of a vaccinated person meeting someone (s.s. unvaccinated) with a large load is high and manages to overcome his immunity.».
THE third factor which led to the reduction of time is the appearance of the Omicron mutation «which has not yet shown its teeth, we do not know what it can do but in the possibility of being more contagious – which seems to be – and more aggravating, the I think the National Commission wanted to prevent this possibility and wanted to ensure that everyone has maximum immunity in the coming months».
So the big question is after after three months we are called to do the 4th dose.
«No, I find this very difficult. I would say it is unlikely to happen and I base this on some theoretical and factual data that have come out of Israel showing that people who took the 3rd dose had very high levels of antibodies and cellular immunity, which is kept undiminished for at least three months. This is in contrast to what we had seen with the two doses that a couple of weeks after the 2nd dose dropped the maximum high immune response and then slowly but surely decreases. Now with the 3rd dose we see that the response remains constant which suggests that the immune response of the 3rd dose has deeper characteristics both quantitatively and qualitatively and will probably last even longer. So, I think it will last maybe a year and we should not do a 4th installment “ said Mr. Manolopoulos.
