However, there is Hints, that too People with antibodies the Spread virus could, it said in the study by the health authority Public Health England (PHE) among employees of the British health system. However, the study cannot make any statements about the effects of vaccines at this point in time. “We now know that most of those who had the virus and developed antibodies are protected from re-infection,” said Susan Hopkins, senior medical advisor to the agency and co-lead on the study, but this protection is not complete. It is also unclear how long this will last. After surviving an infection, a severe Covid 19 disease is highly unlikely. But there is still the risk of getting infected and infecting others.

Participated in the study so far Tens of thousands of UK healthcare workers part. They have been tested regularly for both corona infection and antibodies since June. Of the 6,614 participants who tested positive for antibodies, there were only 44 possible new infections, according to the study.

Experts who were not involved in the study spoke of important findings. “These data reinforce the message that for the time being everyone is a potential source of infection for others and should act accordingly,” said Eleanor Riley, Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Edinburgh University. Simon Clark of Reading University said: “This means that the vast majority of the population must either have natural immunity or have been vaccinated in order for us to completely lift the restrictions in our lives. Unless we’re prepared for many more people to be infected and die from Covid-19. “

British are increasing the vaccination rate – Spahn expects herd immunity in summer

by

In the fight against the high number of corona cases, the UK government increase the pace of vaccination. So far, about 2.6 million vaccine doses have been administered, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Monday. At the same time, he warned against neglecting the measures to contain the virus. The new virus variant was “highly contagious” and put the NHS health service under “considerable pressure”, said the minister.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson had also called for increased vigilance, otherwise the lockdown measures would have to be stepped up. “Now is the time to be extremely vigilant, to comply with the rules,” said Johnson while visiting a vaccination center in Bristol.

As many first vaccinations as possible are given in the UK, the second dose is expected to follow within twelve weeks. To date, just over 370,000 people have received a second dose.

With around 46,000 new infections, the number of new infections reported in Great Britain on Monday was slightly lower than last week. But the number of Covid-19 patients who have to be treated in hospital continues to rise.

RKI registers 24,694 new corona infections – In Mecklenburg Western Pomerania, tightened lockdown is to apply from Sunday

by

According to the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the interval between the first and second corona vaccination should not be increased. The Stiko announced this in an update of its vaccination recommendation on Friday. Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had the authority examined whether such a procedure makes sense in order to be able to vaccinate as many people as possible as quickly as possible with the currently limited vaccine quantities. The background to this is that there is a certain degree of protection against Covid 19 disease already after the first vaccination.

“The second dose of vaccine should be administered within the period covered by the approval studies (currently 42 days),” says the updated vaccination recommendation. To justify this, the Stiko experts explain that at the moment it is uncertain whether postponing the second vaccine dose to a later date will actually prevent more serious illnesses and deaths than a second vaccination for high-risk groups soon, which then results in almost complete protection before illness leads. If the recommended interval between the first and second vaccine dose has been exceeded, the vaccination series can be continued and does not have to be restarted.

Belgium wants to achieve nationwide immunity against the coronavirus by late summer. According to the vaccination plan, 70 percent of the population should be vaccinated by SeptemberAs the Belga news agency reported on Friday to the working group responsible for the vaccination campaign. “This is great news on the way back to freedom,” said Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke.

Belgium had one before A vaccination rate of 70 percent is the goal set. The value corresponds with the assessment of experts, according to which 60 to 70 percent of the population must receive vaccination protection in order to stop the corona pandemic in a country.

The vaccination plan presented on Friday for the coming months is, however, dependent on the availability of vaccines and other market approvals, emphasized Vandenbroucke. The vaccine recently approved in the EU by the US company Moderna and the possibility of increasing the number of individual doses from Biontech / Pfizer ampoules from five to six have already been taken into account.

After a one-week test run, Belgium announced at the beginning of the week that it would begin vaccinations on a large scale. Previously, only 700 volunteers had been vaccinated in some nursing homes. Vandenbroucke and Prime Minister Alexander De Croo therefore called for more speed. Little Belgium with around 11.5 million inhabitants had it in autumn at times the highest number of corona infections per capita in Europe.
