The government announced on the 28th that it would take two weeks to become immunized even if the quarantine authorities were vaccinated, while the government announced a plan to vaccination against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
On the 28th, the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team announced in the’Corona 19 Vaccination Question and Answer’ on the 28th, “It takes about two weeks to form protective antibodies after vaccination.” According to the data released so far, the quarantine authorities analyzed that the antibody formation rate was the highest 7 to 14 days after the second dose of the Corona 19 vaccine. How long immunity is maintained is not yet known, so further research is needed.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of the vaccine, the second dose should be completed according to the recommended period for each vaccine. The Janssen vaccine requires only the first dose, but AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Modena require two doses. Pfizer recommends 21 days and Ascrazeneca and Moderna 28 days between the first and second doses. If the recommended period for the second dose has been exceeded, it is better to receive the vaccine as soon as possible. However, if the second vaccination is delayed, there is no need to do the first vaccination again.
The first and second doses must be of the same type of vaccine. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said that it cannot guarantee immunity and side effects, because data on the safety and efficacy of the Corona 19 vaccine are insufficient if different vaccines are administered simultaneously.
Even after vaccination, you must follow quarantine rules such as wearing a mask, washing your hands, and keeping your distance away. Because vaccination does not create 100% immunity. If immunity is not formed after vaccination, before immunity is formed, or if the effect of the immunity formed over time decreases, you may be infected with Corona 19. According to each pharmaceutical company’s announcement, the immune effect of each vaccine is about 70% for AstraZeneca and more than 90% for Pfizer and Moderna.
The clinical efficacy criterion for a COVID-19 vaccine recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is over 50%, exceeding the results of all three vaccines: Pfizer, Modena, and AstraZeneca.
