Doctors gave their predictions about the end of the coronavirus epidemic in Ukraine
The coronavirus in Ukraine is not slowing down and people are interested in the answer to the question of when the epidemic will subside. Director of the Institute of Biochemistry named after AV The Palladin National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Biological Sciences Serhiy Komissarenko believes that the epidemic will begin to fade with the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in the country, and this will not it will happen until 2021.
“I think vaccines will work, and in the end the viral infection will decrease from 2022,” suggested the academic in a conversation with RBC-Ukraine.
The head of the NGO “Infection Control in Ukraine”, Andriy Alexandrin, believes that in the best case, the incidence of coronavirus infection will decrease in June 2022. But this is on the condition that vaccinations actually start. in Ukraine at least in the fall of 2021.
“If there is no vaccination, then, unfortunately, herd immunity, which many initially relied on, will not occur. Studies show that those who have had COVID-19 antibodies disappear after 2-3 months. Therefore, a person he can get sick again as many times as necessary. ” – said the expert.
Professor Irina Kolesnikova believes that due to the constant mutation of the virus, the composition of vaccines will have to be changed annually. For people, this means only one thing: you will need to get vaccinated every year.
“The hope for the vaccine is certainly great. Studies that have been completed show that it is effective. But more data will become available when many more people are vaccinated; we call this a post-marketing study. For example, the flu vaccine is quite effective, it protects against disease. And even if a person is sick, then the course itself is much easier, “explained the professor.
Recall that according to the World Health Organization, now four vaccines are in the third phase of clinical trials. But it remains to be seen whether they can stop the epidemic 100%.
