Does the vaccine prevent you from contracting Covid-19? Explanation of Neuquén’s health

Through its Twitter account, the provincial portfolio explained, “Vaccines reduce death rates, complications and hospitalizations from COVID-19. In other words, in the face of contagion, the vaccine allows us to pass the disease from mild to moderate.

“For this reason, even being vaccinated, we must continue to respect preventive measures such as the use of chin straps, ventilation of environments, social distancing and hand washing to avoid the spread of the virus”, have- they reiterated.

Russia’s Gamaleya Institute, where the Sputnik V vaccine is produced, had already done its job, which the president placed. “Sputnik V is 91.6% effective against infections and 100% effective against severe cases. If infection is confirmed and occurs, vaccination guarantees rapid recovery without severe symptoms “They said in a tweet, in response to Fernández’s confirmation of the positive result of the rapid test.

Over the hours, other scientists and groups of researchers have joined in to clarify and explain how vaccines work in organisms, as many people believe they work to prevent contagion. Thus, the scientist from Conicet Fabricio Ballarini explained: “All COVID-19 vaccines prevent moderate to severe disease (with very high percentages) and also death (with percentages close to 100%). Vaccinated people become mild to asymptomatic “.

From the Ciencia Nuestra account, they made a long Twitter thread where they also clarified the situation regarding the Fernández contagion. “We must remember that Vaccines have been shown to dramatically reduce hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 (in most approved cases, up to 100%). However, they were NOT 100% effective in reducing mild or moderate symptoms (50 to 95% effectiveness depending on the vaccine), ”they said.

And then they ratified: “For months, we have been warning that the goal of this vaccination campaign is to REDUCE hospitalizations and deaths caused by COVID-19. This is not the case with the probability of being infected and having mild or moderate illness ”.
