It is too early to decide on a fourth dose, it is very likely to happen in part of the population, or the whole population, the professor of Pulmonology estimated in SKAI Nikos Tzanakis. “Right now the epidemiological environment is doing this thought very likely “ clarified.
“It seems that the new mutations succeed and escape to a significant degree in terms of infection from vaccines. “Here Omicron 2 escapes from Omicron its ‘cousin’ (…) We must forget the immunity of the herd, in this sense we must be satisfied with the immunoprotection against a serious disease offered by the vaccines”, he pointed out.
“We have people who suffered from Omicron 1.5 months ago and re-infect with Omicron 2Nikos Tzanakis stressed. However, he clarified that the vaccine still has a huge capacity to protect against a serious disease.
He estimated that the cases will not fall easily, they will move to 20,000 next week, maybe the following week. The participation of the age group over 65 years has increased significantly from about 7% to 20%, it is the group that gives problems.
According to Mr. Tzanakis, “we are going to a form of virus that will stay with us for many years, maybe you too, like the flu we will fight (…) and it will not disturb our life “.
“I expect a relative increase in deaths of 5% to 10% next week. “Where we are 40 to 45 deaths, we may have an average of 50 maybe more,” said the professor. “They are deaths from coronavirus and not from coronavirus, people are infected very vulnerable “ clarified.
