“We are all going to get infected”, are the words of Agustín Portela, number two of the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products has launched this message about the situation of the coronavirus in Spain, and the spread, despite being more than 70% of the population vaccinated.
Faced with the question of mortality in older people, the head of the Biotechnology Service of the AEMPS explains, “We are not going to end the mortality from coronavirus in older people even if they have the complete vaccination schedule, it is not because the vaccine does not work, but because have underlying pathologies that become unbalanced when the person is infected. It is the last straw for your health. “
Third dose, and fourth, and fifth …
Given the different virus mutations, the incidence in those over 65 years of age, and the effect it causes in different patients according to their vulnerabilities, the Spanish Medicines Agency is sure that every year there will be a vaccine, such as the flu.
“With the third dose we are seeing that there is a rise in antibodies. That is my prediction. People with many pathologies and the elderly will have to give them successive pricks to have a very high level of antibodies and very high in mucous membranes. To avoid that, even if 100 virus particles reach them, they neutralize them on day one and not that the virus multiplies a little, they get a little fever and destabilize them“.
A situation that will be similar in other European countries. The one that worries the most right now is Germany, which has registered 65,371 new infections in 24 hours in the last 24 hours, an absolute record in the pandemic, and an incidence of 336.9 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
