However, he stressed that in any case, those vaccinated are protected from hospitalization and death.
According to D. Petrošius, an unvaccinated person was recently admitted to a nursing home, so he assumed that it could have happened and that the people were infected before the second dose.
“Enough antibodies are already formed after the first dose, which alleviates the symptoms of the disease,” he stressed.
According to the interlocutor, the symptoms of the patients are mild.
He stressed that it takes about two weeks for immunity to develop after the second dose, and that the disease was diagnosed 9 days after vaccination.
“It is difficult to know if the answer was really complete when the virus came from somewhere. The immunological properties of each person are different,” said D. Petrošius.
And one more thing: mutations. It could be British, we don’t know.
“It just came to our attention then. It could be British, we don’t know. Because Pfizer was created when there were more Spanish viruses. This is the kind of uncertainty here …” he said.
“You have to make sure what happened; maybe there could have been logistical errors (during transport, aut.) To Klaipeda University Hospital. It could have been, so we don’t know. And antibody tests should be done to show the amount Then look what they have, “said D. Petrošius.
He said that people’s immunity was tested before vaccination and 1 or 2 people had antibodies, everyone else did not.
So according to him, if a quantitative test for antibodies shows that they are present, it will mean that everything is fine with the vaccine.
According to the interviewee, it could not have happened that an underdose of the vaccine was injected because it was calculated very precisely.
“For us, everything was done as it should,” he stressed.
