Mo Yong answers questions about COVID-19, booster vaccination or waiting for a new vaccine?

“Mo Yong” answers questions about vaccination against COVID-19 should be injected with a stimulant needle Or wait for a new breed of vaccine.

On December 3, 2022, Dr. Yong Phuwarawan, Head of the Center, specializing in clinical virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted on Facebook that the outbreak of covid 19 is seasonal during the round of the year. In this wave, the cases will start from mid-November onwards. and will peak after the new year or January

and it will start to decrease from mid-February onwards Until very little left in March and it will go up to a new case of the year in the rainy season or June to September according to the respiratory disease season

The cases are now on the rise. according to the direction of the season

So immunity needs to be boosted now rather than waiting until January or February which is bearish.

vaccines in our country Although this is the original species stimulation at the cellular level to reduce the severity of the disease can do very well

Vaccines by species Even with the increase it will prevent infection Because it is an antibody or B cell and when the immune system rises, it decreases. and when it drops to a certain level, no matter which vaccine can cause infection So, there is no Thep vaccine to prevent infection.

So reducing the severity of the disease depends on the number of needles injected. nor the type of vaccine that is injected Of course, each vaccination should be separated from each other. In general, in the trigger needle, the further the better. But the disadvantage is that if it is too far away there will be an infection before

So, I want everyone to have at least 3 injections, and if the 4th injection is to be injected, it should be 4-6 months away, and if 4 injections were given for a very long time, for example, more than 6 months , the injection will not matter 5. Because a long time ago, the immunity will be reduced to a lot. Stimulation increases immunity at the antibody and cellular levels.

When covid-19 is on the rise, we should hurry to vaccinate. Instead of waiting for a new vaccine or two types of vaccine that will come in, it is at the disadvantage of covid 19. We are not a country that produces vaccines.

virus mutation it will mutate in parts of spikes as part of preventing infection and throughout the last year The strains that have spread in our country are still omicron, but will be different in subgroups such as BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.75, BA.4, BA.5. About 70 percent of the Thai population are infected (According to the study by blood sampling in Chonburi), most of those infected are omicron strain.

Immunity derived from infection combined with immunity derived from vaccine It is considered a very good hybrid immunity. and closest to the species

As for the mutation that has gotten out as much as the news, Deltacron is not a problem in Thailand. The cases that occurred are still micron, so it has not escaped the immunity of the majority of the population much. Not scary at all

So it is now in seasonal progress. they should be vaccinated in order to protect them properly available in our house And it won’t wait until February. Or wait for a new breed of vaccine.
