Virologist: The Hungarian vaccine could roll out next year
Change language:
István Jankovics, a renowned Hungarian virologist was invited to Atv’s programme to answer a few questions relating to immunity, the need of a third dose and the possibility of a Hungarian vaccine.
The virologist answered the question of the anchorman, András Sváby in Atv’s Heti Napló (Weekly Journal) about the possibility of a third dose of vaccine. Recently, information circulated on the internet that many people do not get enough of a reaction from certain vaccines and the number of antibodies in their systems are not high enough.
Jankovics makes it clear that the lack of the number of antibodies does not mean the lack of immunity.
He explained that the human immune system has three kinds of protection: congenital, natural immune response and cellular immune response. The professional also added that while the Sinopharm vaccine’s main aim is not to trigger a cellular immune response, in some cases, it can do so.
The virologist explained that buying a rapid test in your local pharmacy that uses a single drop of blood does not make much sense and it could lead to false deductions. There is no problem in being curious, it just has to be done in a professional environment and it could even help the vaccination program examine the effects large-scale.
