The most extensive studies that have been conducted on the first vaccines to arrive have only clearly shown that they protect against the development of disease.
Save, of course lifetime. However, it is much more uncertain whether they prevent a vaccinated person from getting infected and then spread the infection without getting sick.
So what we learn about how the vaccine works in real life may affect vaccine planning later, according to state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell of the Swedish Public Health Agency.
It is, for example, on how important it will be to vaccinate the youngest who do not belong to any risk group to stop the pandemic. That is, those who usually do not develop serious disease but can still contribute to the spread of infection.
– Typically, for most vaccines, it also reduces the spread of infection by reducing the burden of disease, says Anders Tegnell.
– It is not yet known how long ago with this completely new type of vaccine. But we have a few months on top, so we will surely get much more data. We will also get other vaccines that are possibly better than the ones we have now. Then gradually we must take a position on which groups in society it is important to vaccinate.
People say that People 18 years of age and older should be offered vaccinations once the wider vaccination of the population has begun.
