As the health authorities have announced detailed plans, such as the target and timing of vaccination, related to the corona19 vaccination, which will begin next month, attention is focused on whether a confirmed person who has already been infected should also receive the vaccination.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you can get the vaccine regardless of your past infection history.
The following is a summary of the standards and methods for corona 19 vaccine vaccination, announced on the 28th by the Korea Disease Service Agency.
- Can I get the vaccine even if I have already been infected with Corona 19 or recovered after treatment?
▲ You can get vaccination regardless of your infection history.
However, patients currently in quarantine after being diagnosed can be vaccinated after recovery.
It is recommended to receive vaccination after at least 90 days in order to avoid deteriorating the therapeutic effect due to the combination of the vaccine-induced immune response and antibody treatment.
- Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine and another virus vaccine at the same time?
▲ It is better to inoculate only the Corona 19 vaccine alone.
There is insufficient evidence to prove the safety and effectiveness of the Corona 19 vaccine when vaccinated simultaneously with other virus vaccines.
If different vaccines are to be given, leave at least 14 days between the two doses, and additional doses are not recommended even if this is not observed.
- What if I miss the target vaccination time?
▲ If you have symptoms such as fever of 37.5 degrees or more on the day of vaccination, you can adjust your reservation.
However, if the vaccination is rejected for no specific reason and the reservation is not made within the specified deadline, it is in principle to be placed in the second order.
- If the 2nd vaccination is delayed after the 1st vaccination, should it be correct from the beginning?
▲ According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is not necessary to take the first dose again, but it is better to get the second dose as soon as possible.
It is important to complete the 2nd vaccination within the recommended period for each vaccine to achieve maximum vaccine effectiveness.
- How long does it take to form immunity after vaccination, and how long does the effect last?
▲ Generally, it takes about 2 weeks to form protective antibodies after vaccination.
To date, the antibody is reported to be the highest 7-14 days after the second vaccination, but research on the duration is ongoing.
- Can I get infected with Corona 19 even if I get the vaccine?
▲ 100% immunity is not formed by vaccination.
Even if some immunity is not formed, or even if immunity is formed, it can become infected with Corona 19 if the effect decreases over time.
For this reason, even after vaccination, you must follow quarantine rules such as wearing a mask, washing your hands, and keeping your distance away.
