Luis Enjuanes explains that one dose of the vaccine protects up to 65% compared to the delta variant. It is not total, so, he warns, you have to use complementary measures even when one has both doses.
Keeps people who only have one dose can lead to the appearance of more variants for not having a very strong immunity. The physician indicates that the Californian variant is also moving a lot among the new infected, although the predominant now is the Delta.
“The vaccine in which the Enjuanes team works has been updated against all variants”
The vaccines that exist now protect against all variants but lose 5-10% effectiveness against them, exposes. “Vaccines will also have to evolve to adapt to new variants, but manufacturers already know this and are modifying them,” he maintains.
The vaccine your team works on It has been updated with the variant of the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil and they plan to evolve it also with respect to the Delta. They make it genetically engineered and can modify it very quickly.
believes that the vaccination plan that is being carried out in Spain is adequate and what you have to do is increase the speed of vaccination. It ensures that it is vaccinated at a faster rate than promised but it must be increased. “There is no economy if there is no health. Now that cases have increased so much, this is outrageous, we are already in an emergency situation, something must be done to stop this, otherwise a very strong fifth wave is going to come to us, “he warns.
Ensures Enjuanes that only one in 20 infected reaches hospitals and “this is a very good sign.” But the vaccination process must be accelerated “because the only way to deal with this is by immunizing all of us.”
