The emergence of new variants of the Corona virus has raised questions about the effectiveness of vaccines given against the virus, as cases have arisen in which fully vaccinated people have shown positive results for the Corona delta and lambda viruses, and the fact that experts have confirmed is that vaccines do not offer complete protection against the virus, but they do reduce the risk of infection. The chances of contracting the virus or reducing the severity of the disease in case of reinfection with one of the strains of Covid19.

Experts explained that it is very difficult to determine who has more antibodies after vaccination or who is more likely to be infected again, but a recent study on this topic found that the immune response to the virus depends on several factors, including age. .

The study co-author explained that despite the low level of antibody response in the elderly, vaccination is still important and vaccination is the only way to stay safe and reduce the risk of complications from the disease. virus compared to natural infection.

It is reported that getting vaccinated is the only way to protect against serious complications from Corona, and vaccination is especially important for older people because their immune systems are weak and they need more protection.
