Moderna talks about her COVID vaccine
The company plans to investigate the possibility of extending this period with a third dose.
Moderna said the company’s COVID vaccine provides immunity for at least one year. This was stated by the chief physician of Moderna Tal Zaks, CNN reports on Tuesday, January 12.
“We expect the vaccines to last at least a year,” Sachs said.
The vaccine is now given in two doses, every month, but since the vaccine wasn’t invented until 2020, it is not yet known how long it can provide protection against the coronavirus.
“We will have to push people to see how well amplification works. We think there is room for amplification, especially those at high risk,” Sachs said.
The company now plans to investigate whether a third dose would improve protection.
Earlier, the WHO said that herd immunity against COVID would not be formed in the world in 2021. Measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus should be followed at least until the end of the year, according to the organization.
In addition, the Ministry of Health announced the timing of the start of paid vaccination against the coronavirus. Over time, it will be possible to get vaccinated out of turn by paying, Viktor Lyashko noted.
