Index – Domestic – Vaccination does not protect against infection

Epidemiological measures are obviously decided on the basis of the number of cases and the trend of the epidemic. At the moment, the number of cases is increasing, we see that the epidemic curve is not stagnant yet, we are in an ascending phase – said Ágnes Galgóczi, head of the epidemiology department of the National Center for Public Health (NNK) in the morning program of Tv2. As you said,

we haven’t reached the top yet.

The department head added that the number of patients seen at the hospital is also increasing and, unfortunately, the number of people in serious condition is also increasing. He asked everyone to take the opportunity to get vaccinated.

True or greater protection develops after the second vaccination, and it also takes at least seven to ten days for it to be said that the antibody actually peaks to provide true protection. As far as we know, the vaccine primarily protects against the development of serious diseases and complications. That is why it is also very important that vaccinated people adhere to epidemiological measures.

Ágnes Galgóczi said. He added that more than three million people have signed up to get vaccinated. When asked if a Hungarian mutant could really appear or if there would be a fourth wave, the department head replied that he did not want to go into the predictions, let’s wait for the third wave to go silent.

Viruses are highly variable organisms that want to adapt to a changing environment, since we also defend ourselves with vaccines, there are drugs against it, but the virus wants to survive, then mutations develop.

Said the department head. He added that perhaps by the end of May, beginning of June, a sufficiently high vaccination rate can be reached among the population, which means that by then three million people could have been vaccinated. As for when he could open the country, he thought it was a very complex decision, not just because of factors. He added:

Unfortunately, the number of hospitalizations and deaths will not be too low for some time.

How we write In the last 24 hours, 5,481 new people were infected with the coronavirus, which has increased the number of infected people identified to a total of 586,123 since the start of the epidemic. 252 chronic patients died, most of them elderly. The number of people cured is constantly increasing, currently 378,176 people, but the number of actively infected people has also increased to 189,244.
