Have the specifications of the “complete vaccination” against Corona changed?!

When the vaccination campaigns against the emerging corona virus began, it was believed that the vaccine would be two doses, at most, and then the individual would be fully vaccinated, but things took a different turn, after health authorities began recommending a third dose at the present time, and there may be a fourth dose after months .

According to the American newspaper, “The New York Times”, there are questions about the classification of a person who was satisfied with the two doses of vaccination, and did not take the third booster dose, so is he vaccinated or not?

This controversy arises because the antibodies obtained by the body, through the antiviral vaccine, decline in the body, after months, which calls for reinforcement with an additional dose, so that the person remains able to protect himself from the disease caused by “Covid 19”.

In this context, the Goldman Sachs and Jefferies banking groups require their employees to take the third dose, while the American University of Oregon and other academic institutions require professors and students to take the booster dose of the vaccine.

Meanwhile, New York State said it had a plan to exclude people who did not take the third dose of the vaccinated tab.

Vaccination specifications are subject to review by American companies, universities and schools, while the number of people infected with corona in the United States is increasing rapidly.

Federal health officials, in turn, joined this debate, while decision makers are keen to motivate people to take the third dose, and Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rochelle Walinsky, confirmed, on Tuesday, in a newspaper interview, that there is a discussion about the criteria for full vaccination.

Experts believe that the outbreak of the Omicron mutant requires reconsidering the concept of full vaccination, which is associated with many taking the two doses, so that the third booster dose appears to them as an “extra luxury”.

The President of the American Public Health Association, George Benjamin, believes that the time for this change has come, saying that the concept of a fully vaccinated person is supposed to be linked to taking three doses.

But this step may encounter several obstacles. Millions of Americans may find themselves at risk of losing the “vaccinator status” if they do not take the third dose, and then, for example, they will not be able to enter restaurants and other facilities that require vaccination.

Researchers believe that the two doses of the vaccine actually protect against corona infection, but their effectiveness declines over time, especially in light of the emergence of the “Omicron” mutant that is able to evade antibodies.
