Responding to a question about the possibility of needing a third dose of vaccine in the fall, to deal with mutations, Maria Theodoridou pointed out that for the moment this is all in the realm of fantasy. The chairman of the vaccination committee noted that the data is observed and in case of a decrease in antibodies, such a thing can be suggested.
In addition, the chair of the vaccination committee noted that the pharmaceutical industry is investigating the possibility of creating multivalent vaccines or a combination of such vaccines to treat mutations, if necessary. Ms Theodoridou stressed, however, that all this is still at the level of theoretical discussion.
