Fourth dose for immunocompromised
As pointed out by Ms. Maria Theodoridou, President of the National Vaccination Committee, according to studies, the natural disease from alpha, beta and delta gives strong protection against the Omicron strain at a rate of 90%.
In contrast, protection after Omicron disease was at 60%.
Physical protection in every case is not the same for all people and this is related to age, any underlying diseases and how severely one will get sick.
That is why the National Vaccination Committee often amends the guidelines on what applies to the natural disease regime.
According to the results of research from Israel, after administration of the 4th dose of the vaccine 4 months after the administration of the 3rd dose to people over 60 years of age, the resistance to infection with a micron is doubled and the protection from being admitted to the hospital is tripled.
In any case, based on the data so far, the strong recommendation for a third dose remains, while the fourth dose is reserved for special cases such as the immunosuppressed.
