Corona 19 vaccine too… WHO “It is difficult to achieve global collective immunity within the year”

-The World Health Organization (WHO) predicted that it will be difficult to form immunity for the global COVID-19 population within this year. “Corona 19 vaccine will protect vulnerable groups, but it will be difficult to achieve a certain level of collective immunity within this year,” said Sumya Swaminatan, chief researcher at the WHO video conference held in Geneva, Switzerland on the 11th (local time).

This diagnosis seems to take into account the time it takes for the vaccine to reach each country. Swaminatan said, “Not millions of people are vaccinated, but billions of people around the world,” he said. “It takes enough time for them to develop immunity.” Vaccination has recently started in EU countries such as the US, UK, Singapore and Germany.

He said, “I couldn’t guarantee a vaccine last year, but since several vaccines have already been developed, we need patience.” It is said that it is important to observe basic quarantine rules such as social distancing, wearing a mask, and washing hands.

However, the WHO said at a conference that the recent re-proliferation of Corona 19 is not related to the emergence of the mutant virus. The surge in the number of people infected with Corona 19 occurred before the emergence of the mutant virus, and rather, it was thought that the cause of people’s contact was not completely blocked. WHO Emerging Diseases Team Leader Maria Pankerhover said, “Especially during Christmas and the year-end and New Years, the ease of distancing is considered to have a decisive effect. In addition, there is some evidence that the mutant virus speeds up the spread of Corona 19, but this is not enough to change the existing countermeasures, the WHO said.
