  • Health So are the changes in the breast and in menstruation suffered by women recently vaccinated against Covid-19

  • Canary Restrictions will require the Covid certificate to enter restaurants and sports centers on the islands at extreme risk

The fifth wave of the

coronavirus

pandemic is

advancing although at a slower rate than in previous days and with 52.8% of the Spanish population vaccinated with the full schedule. So far in July, the cumulative incidence (

659.08 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days)

has increased fivefold. Given these data, the autonomies restrict activities, the

Canary Islands and Galicia

require the covid certificate to access the interior of premises in areas and municipalities with high risk. In the

Basque Country,

the mask is used again in busy urban spaces

,

and the Lehendakari calls (having no powers) to limit night mobility from one to six in the morning.

Asturias, Aragon, Navarra and the Canary Islands have requested or are awaiting judicial authorization

of the night curfew

.

In

Cantabria

, it is in force and in

Catalonia

and the

Valencian Community

it has been expanded.

07.10 Health refuses to vaccinate with Janssen those under 40 years of age

The Ministry of Health has rejected the request of autonomies such as

Andalusia, Madrid, Catalonia and Galicia

to administer the Janssen single-dose vaccine to people under 40 years of age, who are the bulk of the group that remains to be immunized in Spain, although it is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Health does not want to open its hand to its use by people under 40,

except in the exceptions already approved

a few weeks ago:

Erasmus

students

, seasonal workers, sailors, homeless people and other groups

that benefit from having a single dose.

Health refuses to vaccinate with Janssen under 40 despite the shortage of Pfizer and the explosion of the fifth wave

07.05 A longer interval between doses of Pfizer triggers the level of antibodies, according to a study from the University of Oxford

A longer gap between doses of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine leads to higher overall antibody levels than a shorter interval, according to a British study published today that also found a sharp drop in antibody levels after the first dose.

The study could help inform vaccination strategies against the Delta variant, which reduces the effectiveness of a first dose of the vaccine, although two doses remain protective.

"For the longest dosing interval, the levels of neutralizing antibodies against the Delta variant were poorly induced after a single dose, and were not maintained during the interval before the second dose," the authors of the study said. run by the University of Oxford.

"After two doses of vaccine, the neutralizing antibody levels were twice as high after the longest administration interval compared to the shortest interval."

Neutralizing antibodies are believed to play an important role in immunity against coronavirus, but not the whole picture, and T cells play a role as well.


The study found that overall T cell levels were 1.6 times lower with a long gap compared to the short 3-4 week dosing schedule, but that a higher proportion were "helper" T cells with the long gap. , which support long-term immune memory.






7.00 China refuses to open its laboratories to the new WHO investigation on the origin of Covid and the US describes it as "irresponsible" and "dangerous"

The United States on Thursday called "irresponsible" and "dangerous" the Chinese government's refusal to allow the World Health Organization (WHO) to begin a second phase of studies to investigate the origin of the coronavirus in China.

"We are deeply disappointed. His stance is irresponsible and frankly dangerous," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at her daily press conference.

Psaki was referring to China's response to the WHO's request to begin the second phase of investigations into the origin of the coronavirus in China, which would include investigating markets and laboratories in Wuhan, the city where the first outbreaks were detected.

The deputy director of the National Health Commission, Zeng Yixin, on Thursday described the WHO proposal as "arrogant" and "lacking in common sense", and asked the organization to strip its work of "political interference."

In this regard, Psaki stressed that it is "crucial" that China provides access to "data and samples" in its territory so that the world can "understand" what happened and "prevent the next pandemic."

"This is about saving lives in the future, and this is not the time to obstruct" the WHO investigations, added US President Joe Biden's spokeswoman.

Last week, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called on China "to be transparent and open" and "to cooperate especially by providing raw data on the early days of the pandemic."

Ghebreyesus assured that knowing the origins of the coronavirus "is a pending debt with millions of people who have suffered it."

In February, the WHO mission in Wuhan requested access to the raw data of patients registered in the city's hospitals with symptoms similar to those of COVID before the first known case of the disease, but China claimed that these already their experts had studied.
