RMOLJateng. It is hoped that the presence of the Covid-19 vaccine will not cause euphoria in the community and eventually ignore health protocols.
–
This was conveyed by the Secretary General of the Association of Indonesian Hospitals (PERSI), dr. Lia Partakusumah in a virtual discussion entitled “Safe Covid-19 Vaccine, Healthy Society” on Friday (12/3).
According to dr. Lia, vaccination cannot have a direct impact. New immunity can appear two or three weeks after injection of the second dose.
In addition, the Sinovac vaccine currently used by Indonesia also only has an efficacy of 65 percent, so it is not completely protective.
“So there are still people who have not been able to form immunity in their bodies. Everyone is different, there are people who are quick to respond until the antibodies are formed quickly, but some are slow, even unable to form antibodies,” he explained. RMOL News Agency.
Even so, dr. Lia believes that the presence of a vaccine can reduce worries from severe Covid-19 symptoms. Although he also appealed to the public to stick to health protocols.
Of course we hope that the public will not be euphoric. “Keep each other running a health protocol,” he appealed. [hen]
