Researchers have warned that access to the Coronavirus vaccine will not be a lifeline for a group of people and patients, especially those who are obese. CNN today quoted Raz Sheikh, associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, as saying: "Will we have a Covid vaccine next year for obese people? Impossible. Will it work for obese people? No".
But that doesn't mean that when a vaccine is released, people who are obese should not be vaccinated, says Dr. Timothy Garvey, director of diabetes research at the University of Alabama. And Garvey added: "The influenza vaccine is still working with obese patients, but not as required. We still want to be vaccinated." However, this issue remains a particular concern in the United States, where more than 107 million people are obese, which means their weight is "healthier" relative to their height, according to "Russia Today".
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with obesity are more likely to develop serious diseases if they contract Coronavirus.
