Is a specific vaccine necessary for the omicron variant of the coronavirus, which has been shown to be more contagious and elusive than sera? The president of the Spanish Association of Vaccination, Amos García Rojas, has pointed out in an interview on laSexta Noticias that he does not see it necessary.
“I think vaccines are being effective for what we are interested in, for avoid the most serious and complicated forms of the disease“He stressed, since now the incidence is at its highest peaks throughout the year, but hospital pressure is not noticing it.” I think that with the vaccines that we currently have we are solving the problem, “he said.
However, the expert has stressed that there are still people who have not been vaccinated or given the booster dose and that the punctures, by themselves, will not solve the disease. “We have to reinforce the preventive discourse: mask, hygiene, physical distance and ventilation are effective tools “.
Date at the peak of the wave
The vaccine expert believes that there are still weeks in which the levels of infections will be very high and, in addition, Christmas won’t help flatten the curve: “We still have a series of parties in which we may lower our guard,” he said.
In this sense, once the infections produced in the Christmas period end, García Rojas is committed to the fact that in “the last part of the month of January” the number of cases will begin to decrease.
