For those who took the third dose, no deaths were reported and the chance of infection was reduced by 95%: “That is, 6 out of 5,000 people who got the vaccine became infected and became slightly ill, compared to 123 people who did not take the third dose.” explained the rector.
“The recommendation is for the third dose to be given as soon as possible after the platform is opened,” the rector said. .
He also spoke about the small fear of myocarditis-pericarditis that usually occurs in adult men after vaccination, stressing that a very recent study found that this case involves only 2 cases per 1 million doses.
