(December 3, 2022) Prof. Dr. Yong Poovorawan (Doctor Yong) Director of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Problems with Facebook posts”COVID-19“Asking questions shouldbooster vaccinationContinue or wait for a new vaccine, whose outbreak is now in an upward trend
epidemic ofCOVID-19 according to the season of the year In this wave, the epidemic started from mid-November onwards. and will peak after new year or January and begin to decline from mid-February onwards Until very little left in March and go until new year outbreak in rainy season or June to September depending on the season of respiratory disease
The epidemic is now on the rise. according to the direction of the season. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate increased immunity. Now instead of waiting until January or February which is bearish
vaccines in our country Although it is the original species stimulation at the cellular level to reduce the severity of the disease can do much good
Vaccines by species Even with the increase it will prevent infection because it isAntibodies or B cell and when the landscape rises, it decreases. And when it falls to a certain level, regardless of the vaccine, an infection can occur. Therefore, there is no Thep vaccine to prevent infection.
The reduction in the severity of the disease therefore depends on the number of needles injected. compared to the type of vaccine injected Of course, each vaccination should be spaced out. In general, in the spur needle, the farther the better. But the disadvantage is that if it is too far, the infection will occur first.
Therefore, I want everyone to get at least 3 injections and if the 4th injection is to be injected, it should be in 4-6 months, and if it has been 4 injections for a long time, say more than 6 months, the 5th injection won’t matter, because a long time ago immunity will be reduced to a lot. Stimulation increases immunity at both the antibody and cellular level.

When COVID-19 is on an uptrend, we should be ready to vaccinate instead of waiting for a new vaccine or two vaccine strains to enter the downtrend of COVID-19. We are not a vaccine producing country.
mutation of the virus will mutate into parts of spikes this is part of infection prevention And during the past year, the strains that have spread in our country are still Omicron, but they will differ in subgroups such as BA.1, BA.2, BA. 2.75, BA.4, BA.5. The Thai population is infected. 70% (according to the study of blood collection in Chonburi), most of the infected species areOmicron Immunity resulting from infection in combination with immunity derived from the vaccine It is considered an excellent hybrid immunity. and closer to the species
As for the mutation that’s been out as much as the news Deltacron No problem in Thailand. The resulting outbreak is still an omicron. Therefore, the immunity of the majority of the population has not escaped much. Not at all alarming
Therefore, it is now in a seasonal uptrend. They should be vaccinated in the appropriate protection which is available in our home. And I won’t wait until February or wait for a new vaccine strain.
