However, if the covid-19 vaccine is found, whether life will return to normal as before it existed pandemic covid-19?
“Indeed, it is hoped that the Covid-19 vaccine will return to life before the pandemic. However, even if a vaccine has been found, we still cannot abandon the existing health protocols, “said Prof. Dr. Amin Soebandrio, PhD, SpMK (K), Head of the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology, in the Digital Media Briefing “Support for the Acceleration of Covid-19 Vaccine Research” Thursday, 3 September 2020.

He explained that even if a vaccine will be available in the future, it does not mean that the pandemic will be over.
“The virus will continue to circulate around us. And we also can’t know where the virus is. Even though many humans will be immune because they have received the vaccine and the virus will decrease, it certainly takes time, “said Prof. Amen.
“We have experience with the smallpox virus, for example. It took between the first vaccine found to be smallpox free and up to 200 years. However, right now, with technological sophistication, maybe we don’t have to wait that long, “said Prof. Amen.
Prof. Amin emphasized that even if a covid-19 vaccine was found, the community should still take care of themselves.
“Using a mask, washing hands, maintaining a safe distance, these still have to be applied even if a vaccine has been found later,” concluded Prof. Amen.
