The world registers cases of people who have been infected after receiving the first dose of the vaccine against covid-19, in front of which arise concerns who begin by doubting the effect of the first dose, not knowing if they apply the second and what measures take to face the disease.
What happens if I get covid-19 between the first and second doses of the vaccine?
About, Carlos Arturo Alvarez , infectologist, professor at the National University of Colombia, says that a single dose of the vaccine does not guarantee the immunity against covid 19, hence many people can become infected after receiving it, especially those who relax their measures of bioprotection.
In those cases, says Álvarez, it has been proven that although the first dose does not protect completely, it does help to attenuate the disease process, especially when a weather so that it generates a level of antibodies, however, the person must follow the same recommendations of any infected.
This means that you have to isolate yourself for at least 10 days, review the symptom permanently and be aware of any event that requires direct attention from the medical staff.
After disease, if the person received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and is under 60 years of age, there is clinical evidence that it would not require a second dose, because the natural defenses left by the infection are reinforced by those of the vaccine, consistently and lastingly. If you insist on applying the second dose, this biological should be applied 90 days after the infection.
If the first dose that the person applied was AstraZeneca o de Sinovac, the second dose should be applied 90 days after infection and in patients at risk, immunosuppressed or over 60 years of age, the recommendation is to apply the second doses 30 days after infection.
