“At the moment there is no discussion about a fourth dose of the vaccine in the general population”, the president of EODY, Theoklis Zaoutis, told SKAI 100.3, emphasizing that from the data so far, it does not seem that the fourth dose offers great effectiveness to young people age.
He added that if a fourth dose is decided, it will be for people with a serious medical history.
He himself stated that the increase in cases in recent days, due to the fact that the Omicron 2 strain, which is more contagious, tends to replace the Omicron, but also to the fact that in some people the immunity from the vaccine has decreased.
He estimated that in the next period there will be a slight stabilization, without of course the pressure that had been recorded in the previous waves of the pandemic.
Asked if it was right to discuss at this stage the lifting of some restrictive measures, Mr. Zaoutis pointed out that “the important indicators that should guide us in public health decisions are the index of hospitalization, death and serious illness”, adding that ” The number of cases is high, but the disease is not serious “.
At the same time, the president of EODY left open the possibility of adjusting both the way the cases are measured and the way they are announced, emphasizing that the updates may not be made as they are now.
Asked why EODY does not give the percentages of vaccinated and unvaccinated to the victims of the pandemic, he explained that “when a state.
reach 100% of the vaccination, the only ones who will lose their lives will be de facto vaccinated, so possibly in this way wrong messages will be given “.
