Washington: At present, usually two doses of Corona Vaccine are being administered around the world. In some countries including America, three doses of the vaccine are also being given to those in the high-risk group. But now America’s top infectious disease expert and White House medical advisor, Doctor Anthony Fauci, says that people may need three doses of the vaccine in the coming days. According to him, after a few months of taking two doses, the antibodies to fight the corona are decreasing. On Thursday, he also showed some data related to it.
Fauchi shared data from Israel. Let us tell you that a large number of people in Israel have been given a booster dose of the vaccine. According to the data, 10 lakh people who have been given three doses of the vaccine have shown a very good effect. All of them were given the Pfizer vaccine. It was studied after 12 days. According to this, for those who were given the third dose of the vaccine, the risk of getting corona remained only about 10 percent.
Let us tell you that booster doses will be given in America from September 20. The third dose of the vaccine will be given 8 months after the second dose. Most people in America have been given the vaccine of Pfizer and Moderna. The first two doses of both these vaccines are given at an interval of 28 days. Earlier in the US, only high-risk patients were allowed to give booster doses.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, indicated on Thursday that he favors a three-dose strategy. The top infectious disease expert said that an additional dose or the last dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, months after the initial vaccination process, will help the immune system more ‘mature’. He said that a final decision in this regard would be taken with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after submitting the data to the regulatory body.
