As the head of the Hospital de Infecciones de Clínicas VU Santara when commenting on the situation emphasized prof. Ligita Jančorienė, the risk of getting sick after the first dose of the vaccine is reduced to 20%.
“One thing, it should not be said, is related to the vaccine, because perhaps those people who were already vaccinated had the virus in the nasopharynx, or at least they were in the incubation period. Looking at the vaccine registry studies, in particular the Pfizer vaccine, which came first and was medically vaccinated, it is very clear that the risk of developing the disease is reduced by up to 20% after the first dose of the vaccine alone. 12 days later.
In other words, 80 percent. people vaccinated with the test vaccine were no longer at risk of becoming infected. But that 95 percent. efficacy is only achieved after the second dose of the vaccine, which is known to be given 3 weeks later. Then after another 7 days, the risk of infection for the vaccinated person remains at only 5%. Therefore, the first two weeks after the first vaccination are still the period when the vaccine is just starting to work. It is not necessary for a person to have a severe form of the disease, perhaps they are asymptomatic at all, ”explained the doctor.
The study was conducted before vaccination.
He stressed that the disease had been detected by doctors during preventive examinations, which are usually carried out at regular intervals of 7 to 14 days.
“For some, a positive nasopharyngeal test was detected the same day the vaccine was given. This is an imaginary situation: a man came for a preventive check-up, he felt fine, they did a smear, the result of which is known to arrive after 8, sometimes 10 hours, and the vaccine was vaccinated the same day in the morning and only at night.
This shows that it was an asymptomatic form and most of our doctors, who had a positive nasopharyngeal sample detected, were vaccinated during that period up to two weeks after vaccination, ”explained L. Jančorienė.
According to her, such people can often go unnoticed in society because they are not subjected to planned preventive examinations.
The portal tv3.lt recalls that it has been written that vaccination at that time gives a person infected with the virus basically double protection, so the second vaccine is usually no longer necessary.
