Around six types of vaccines are currently being tested around the world that affect coronavirus at different points of attack.
– the chief physician of the National Institute of Hematology and Infectious Diseases of the South Pest Central Hospital told the public media on Saturday. János Slavik explained that there is a vaccine that passes small genetic information to humans to produce antibodies against the coronavirus, while another uses a viral vector that stimulates the secretion of antibodies using another type of live or inactivated virus.
A third method, such as the flu vaccine, delivers an inactivated, non-reproductive virus to the human body that begins to produce antibodies, and the simplest vaccines are protein-based, which attempt to protect people by introducing different proteins. added.
He stressed that Russia uses two of these technologies, and the United States, England, Germany and China are also developing three to four types of vaccines.
János Slavik confirmed that
You can now come to Hungary from Russia in December
an effective vaccine developed to prevent coronavirus infection.
This will be a shipment to be tested, which means it will be sent to the vaccine researchers in Hungary.
– He said. He also said that the technology used in the vaccine produced in Russia, such as the development of an Ebola vaccine in Africa, dates back quite a few years.
He said the vaccine coming from Russia for the test is a so-called adenovirus vaccine, which is based on a benign human virus by modifying an inactivated version of it so that the human body can recognize it as a coronavirus and produce antibodies.
He said it was important that vaccines from Russia could be used in Hungary.
Hungary also has a long tradition in drug development and vaccine production, so it is a completely logical step to try to build a Hungarian vaccine for the Hungarian people.
He stated and then emphasized that this vaccine should be administered twice 28 days apart,
and its efficiency exceeds 92 percent according to preliminary data.
According to the chief physician, it is conceivable that in the coming months they will be allowed to test this vaccine on hundreds or thousands of people. According to János Slavik, according to the tests carried out so far, two vaccines have reached or exceeded 90 percent efficiency, which is very good news, as it means that a larger epidemic can be avoided by vaccinating 50-60 percent of the population, while 70 For a vaccine with an efficacy of -80 percent, 70 to 80 percent of the population must be vaccinated to achieve so-called flock immunity.
He stressed that at the moment all vaccines are in the development stage, but as time passes, truthful information will be revealed so that everyone can decide which vaccine to choose. He also talked about it, according to preliminary information.
the vaccination will be voluntary and everyone can decide for themselves if they want to take it,
similar to the flu vaccine. You will probably have to see your GPs for vaccinations, but it will be a few months before that, he explained.
The chief doctor stressed that it is important that people at risk, that is, the elderly, the chronically ill and health workers, and those responsible for the management of the country, receive the vaccine first.
Finally, János Slavik pointed out that the effect of the latest restrictive measures can only be felt later, as the incubation period of the disease is 5-8 days, MTI reported.
