Dr. Fauci says if you are immunized against Covid
Whether you had coronavirus, or if you get a future vaccine, here are your chances.
People who contracted COVID-19 are not necessarily immunized, saidDr. Anthony FauciThe first infectious infectious expert of the nation, Thursday evening, adding that any protection by contracting the disease - or obtaining a future vaccine - is probably temporary.
"At that time, we do not know the sustainability of protection," said Façi during an q & a online hosted by theWashington National Cathedral. "We know that if you are infected and recovered, it is very likely that a finite period of time you are protected. It's almost certain that this is the case."

"We have a lot to learn"
In part, it's because some people managed to contract Covid-19 twice. "We have already seen specific cases of reinfection, infected people, retrieved and have been infected with another SARS-COV-2 [the name of the virus that causes Covid-19]," said Fauci. "We do not know how extensive it will be. So, even if antibodies are present in many people who are restored, we do not know which level is related to protection. We do not know how much time that lasts . "
But Fauci said that the chances of reinfection now seem weak. "Now we do not want to scare people to think:" Oh my God, I was infected. And now I will be infected again, "said Fuci." Unlikely. But what we have a lot to learn is the sustainability of protection. "
Reports are encouraged by reports that the Pfizer vaccine was considered effective 90% in lagging trials, but added that it is not an end - everything, either. It is unlikely that Covid-19 will act as diseases of the varicella of chickenpox or measles, which you have contracted or not vaccinated.

"It's very unlikely that it's going to be like measles"
"The only thing I can say, as an infectious person illness, is that it is very unlikely that it looks like measles," said Fuci. "I was infected with measles as a child ... and the fact is that you are protected essentially for life. It's probably not of this magnitude, because of what we know about coronaviruses Cold who continue to reinfect people. We think it's probably measured. In several months to a year or more, but that does not seem to be 20, 30 years old. "
"Which means people must be vaccinated, even if they have been infected before, what we think we can go. And it is conceivable, although not absolute, that you can strengthen people from time to time after the Vaccine, which is fine. "
Fauci said that a coronavirus vaccine begins to move on vulnerable populations next month and that even a person without risk factors can not be vaccinated by the end of the first quarter or second quarter of 2021 .
