Is it possible to receive more than one vaccine against Corona from different companies? A virologist answers

Will the Coronavirus "Covid-19" Vaccine Eliminate the Pandemic?

Can a person receive more than one different vaccine from different companies?

Is there a relationship between vaccination and herd immunity?

The answers are here.

We directed these and other questions to Dr. Yahya Abdel-Momen Makki, a specialist and expert in virology at Claude Bernard University Hospital in France, in an exclusive interview with Al-Jazeera Net.

Will the vaccine eliminate the pandemic?

Yes, but this will not be one vaccine, but rather two or three vaccines that will spread in the world, and each country will vaccinate 70% of the population in order to eliminate the pandemic, and it will take a year for the results to appear and to be able to control the infection.

These vaccines work in two doses:

The first dose: To stimulate immunity, as immune cells begin to produce antibodies to the Corona virus.

The second dose: After 3-4 weeks, it gives a boost to antibody production and formation from B lymphocytes (B), as well as cellular immunity by stimulating natural killers, cytoxic cells and other immune cells.

Is there a relationship between vaccination and herd immunity?

Is it possible to reach herd immunity without vaccination?

Herd immunity is based on letting the virus infect people and transmit the infection to each other until immunity is formed in them.

And yes, we can reach herd immunity without vaccination for some viruses, and we have immunity through the herd immunity to a number of viruses such as the herpes virus, but in the case of the Corona virus, this is difficult, because it is a dangerous and deadly virus, and until we reach the herd immunity in it we will need to infect tens of millions and the deaths of millions This is the wrong approach.

So we need to be vaccinated.

What percentage of the population in the community must be vaccinated against Corona to eliminate the epidemic?

Above 70% so that we can control the epidemic and reduce the spread.

80% will control the epidemic and protect the population.

90% will be eliminated from the pandemic and virus.

Can a person receive more than one different vaccine from different companies?

For example, to receive a Pfizer-Bionic vaccine, then a Moderna vaccine?

Is this safe?

Does it help to increase the effectiveness of pollination?

Or do the different vaccines interfere and lead to major complications?

This matter is not tried and in my personal opinion is completely rejected, and we do not recommend it, and we recommend that whoever starts with a vaccine of a certain type should follow it, because every vaccine contains materials added to preserve the messenger DNA in my modern and Phaser vaccines, and these ingredients may predict an allergy between one substance and another .

However, this idea may be presented to laboratories and experts to try it, and in my personal opinion this is completely rejected.

Do vaccines change the DNA of humans - as opponents of vaccines claim - and turn us into genetically modified humans?

This is wrong and incorrect speech, as the vaccine does not lead to any genetic change, because the messenger DNA does not enter the cell nucleus, and it does not stick to the human DNA and does not change it.

So these allegations are a lie.

What do you say to those who fear vaccination who say they will not receive it?

Thanks to vaccination, we protected humanity from smallpox, children protected us from polio and almost eliminated it. We are also trying to eliminate rubella and mumps.

Corona vaccine is the way to protect people and their lives.

For the first time in history, we reach a vaccine for a virus in less than a year, thanks to science, scientists, and financial and international support for their research.

After producing and receiving vaccines, can we return to our previous way of life: for example, stop wearing the muzzle and social distancing?

The answer is yes, after we vaccinate 70% to 80% of the population.

This is until we completely eliminate it, or it turns into a virus like seasonal viruses like influenza, and the vaccination against Corona becomes annually.

It is something that we will determine after we study how long the antibodies will persist in the body against the Corona virus.

However, with vaccination and adherence to hygiene standards, social distancing and the muzzle, we will need two years to control the epidemic.
