Good Lifestyle

Even if we are still in theIn the middle of the cocovable pandemic, we are certainly far from where we started. People are already heading for summer holidays and planning July 4 celebrations. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recognized that "while we are heading for summer, many people are atmuch lower risk of serious illnesses, hospitalization and death "of the coronavirus. It is largely thanks to increased immunity by previous vaccines and infections. But with the cases still increasing, it is important to know what exactly is your level of protection.

A study of June 15 published inThe New England Journal of Medicine I looked at protection against infection and previous vaccinationhave symptoms Omicron infections by studying the cases coded in Qatar from December 2021 to February 2022. According to the study, the immunity of a previous infection alone was only 46.1% effective against the initial omicron subvariant, BA. 2.

"It's really a lot, much safer to be vaccinatedthan to be infected, "Jeffrey Klausner, MD, specialist in infectious diseases at the University of South California, told theLos Angeles Times. "The vaccine presents only a small piece of the virus. The whole virus, if you are infected, will spread throughout the body, this will cause different symptoms in different parts of the body and increase your risk of very cocovored or prolonged duration of duration of disease. "

But even being vaccinated at this stage may not be enough if you have not followed your photos. The study also indicated that the effectiveness of two doses of the pfizer mRNA vaccine was practically non -existent, and the least protective of any combination of immunity against vaccination and previous infection. In comparison, three doses of pfizer were effective by 52.2%, while three shots and a previous infection were effective of 77.3% against symptomatic infection BA.2.

"Vaccination in two doses and no previous infection had had negligible effectiveness against BA.1 and BA.2", explained the researchers in the study. According to the CDC, while more than 66% of the American populationhas been fully vaccinated Until now, less than 50% of these people have obtained a reminder.

It is far from desperate, however. According to the study, people without recall could still be somewhat protected from a symptomatic omicron case if they have already been infected with the virus. Two doses and an earlier infection were 55.1%effective, the researchers revealed. And according to the CDC, at least 60% of the entire American populationhave already been infected With COVID in February 2022.AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

"Covid-19 will stay with us essentially forever. It will not really disappear. But the question will be, will we be able to live with one way or another?"Brewl Jamal Abu-Raddad, an epidemiologist of infectious diseases at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar and co-author of the study, said to theLos Angeles Times. "And the initial results we obtain are in fact very encouraging."

According to Abu-Raddad, it clearly emerges from the study that "immune escape is so much higher" with omicron, as "essentially a new virus". We have clearly traveled a long way from the first clinical trials which showed that the tank vaccines were effective from 94 to 95% to prevent a slight coronavirus disease.

"However, and I think it is really the important part: immunity against the severe COVVI-19 was really very preserved," said Raddad. All protection combinations against vaccination and previous infection were more than 70% effective against hospitalization or death, according to the study.

"Become a coconut right now - if you are vaccinated and you are reasonably healthy - is more a nuisance that it is a deadly event for most people. It is a very different disease from there are two years, when we had a largely non -immune human population and a virus that went for the first time, "Robert Scholey , MD, specialist in infectious diseases at the University of California San Diego which was not involved in the study, explained to the Los Times angles . "Now we have a virus that many of us have seen either by vaccination or by infection or a combination of the two. The rules of the game are much more level."
