3 health workers in Tulungagung are positive for Covid-19 after vaccination

Liputan6.com, Surabaya – Head of the Tulungagung Health Service, Kasil Rokhmat, confirmed that three health workers were confirmed positive after participating vaccination Covid-19.

“We are still investigating this case, whether they were infected before vaccination or afterwards, “said Kasil at the Tulungagung Regency pavilion, Wednesday (10/3/2021), as quoted from Among.

He did not mention the identities of the three health workers who were confirmed by Covid-19 after the vaccination.

“This case cannot be concluded that vaccination failed in preventing (transmission) of Covid-19,” he said.

Kasil explained the process of forming antibodies in a series of the Covid-19 immunization program. According to him, the first vaccination had not fully formed Covid-19 immunity. This phase, a person who has received the first dose of injection is still susceptible to exposure to the corona virus.

However, if what happens is an infection after the second dose of vaccination, it is considered still within reasonable limits because the effectiveness of the vaccine is around 65 percent so that the incidence was predicted in advance.

However, that does not mean vaccination meaningless in minimizing the spread of Covid-19. Vaccines still have meaning in fighting corona viruses.
