Who needs to be revaccied and why it is important to vaccinate children – the Public Health Center told Infection physician, head of the National Technical Group of Experts on Immunoprophylaxis (NTGEI) Fedor Lapiy.
Is it worth vaccination with omicron sp particular vaccine for those who were vaccinated in the old “old” vaccine against Covid-19 in 2021? Yes. In order to maintain the optimal level of protection, additional vaccination should be undergoing an updated omicron spun. It protects both against the original Wuhan’s strain of the virus, and against the strain of Omikron and its subvars Stratus and Nimbus.
“At the same time, the vaccination obtained in 2021 is counted, because it ensured the formation of a basic immune response, immune memory”, – says Fedor Lapi.
He explains that after vaccination, most people were in one way or another in contact with SARS-COV-2, which strengthened their immune memory.
“It was for these reasons that at the start of the vaccination campaign, we called for vaccination even those who had already suffered a Covid-19: the postponed disease became the” first meeting “with the virus, and vaccination-the second, significantly enhancing the immune protection”, – notes the specialist.
How often do you need to vaccinate from Covid-19? For people at risk of people from 60 years of age, patients with immunodeficiency conditions or severe chronic diseases, it is recommended to administer a booster dose of vaccines from the COVID-19 every 6-12 months.
Pregnant women are advised to get a COVID-19 vaccination during each pregnancy.
“For people who are not at risk, one completed primary vaccination rate that is currently composed of one dose of the vaccine on the platform mRNA. In recent years, most people have repeatedly contact the virus, which provided the formation and maintenance of a secondary response. generally tolerate Covid-19 lighter than at the beginning of the pandemic “, – explains Fedor Lapi.
Why is flu vaccination every year, and one course of vaccination is enough from the Covid-19, even when new strains appear? According to the expert, this is due to the peculiarities of mutations of viruses. The SARS-COV-2 virus changes, but mainly within the variant of omicron. Such changes are called subvarian, which is not a dramatic change in the virus. That is why the immune response to vaccination is stored, even when new variants of omicrone appear.
“Instead, the flu virus is more prone to mutations. Every year, several types of its types (1-2 types of influenza B virus B, two types of influenza virus A) are circulating each year. These are different viruses that can be significantly mutated. That is why every year the composition of influenza vaccines is updated every year to meet the actual strains”– the message says.
Why is it important to vaccinate children from Covid-19, even if they tolerate the disease? Children can also have a serious course of the disease: hospitalization, development of multisystem inflammatory syndrome, fatal consequences, explain in the department. Therefore, vaccination of children is recommended to prevent even a single case.
“It is important to vaccinate children and school age, because they are constantly in contact with a large number of peers in school and extracurricular classes. The vaccine against Covid-19 does not significantly reduce the transmission of the pathogen, it still protects the children themselves and reduces the risk of infection of people at risk, for example.” – said Fedor Lapi.
The Center for Public Health also reminded that the COVID-19 vaccine in Ukraine is free of charge. To vaccinate from the Covid-19, you should consult your family doctor or the nearest healthcare facility.
