The fight against the corona virus epidemic continues. While the virus creates new variants, the most effective weapon against the virus is the vaccine, according to the data of the Ministry of Health, the rate of those aged 18 and over who received a single dose of vaccine has exceeded 90 percent. The rate of those who received at least two doses of vaccine exceeded 80 percent.
However, as in some countries, the opposition to vaccination continues in Turkey. Citizens who oppose vaccination on social media confuse many people. Due to the mutation of the virus, the 3rd dose of vaccine is prescribed by the experts.
”3. DOSAGE REQUIRED”
Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Head of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Department. Dr. Yeşim Taşova made statements to İhlas News Agency. Taşova said, “There are studies showing that the antibody level decreases after a certain period of time after 2 doses of vaccination. Of course, this will be explained further in the future, but since the antibody level has decreased, the 3rd dose of vaccine must be given. This is especially important for those who have the Sinovac vaccine. It was also announced by Biontech that there is a 3rd dose of vaccine and that immunity should be strengthened. Each variant may try to find a way to evade the vaccine. Therefore, when the virus enters the body, it is necessary to create antibodies to prevent it from multiplying, and this can be done with a vaccine.
‘WE ARE LIVING IN AN EPIDEMIC NOW’
Addressing the anti-vaccine people, Taşova said, “I want them to look at the dead people. It is said that they were vaccinated and died, but when compared, those who were not vaccinated and died are more. People are getting confused. We are currently experiencing an epidemic. Pandemic means disaster. The way to survive the disaster has been vaccination for centuries. We see what has happened in the world in the absence of vaccination. There are doctors who have lost their closest friends by being anti-vaccine. “People should see them,” he said.
