Research shows that ‘COVID’
slow onset
move down nearby
influenza type A
The Permanent Secretary for Public Health reveals that the situation of COVID-19 infection has begun to decrease, but infection is normal. As for the virus, it continues to develop itself. But booster vaccination is still necessary.
Recommend annual immunization injections to reduce severe symptoms – death Especially in the 608 group, ‘Mor Yong’ pointed out that the XBB strain of COVID-19 is not uncommon. Revealed from the experiment found good things, the mutation rate began to slow down. The trend may be similar to influenza A strains in the future.
On June 22, Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health Discussing the situation of COVID-19 infection in Thailand now that The trend began to decline. But getting infected with COVID is normal. because the virus has changed Continually develop yourself Vaccination is still necessary to prevent the severity of the disease. And reduce the death rate in the 608 group to build immunity.
However, although the effectiveness of the vaccine has decreased Because they cannot be developed to match the rapidly changing viruses. But vaccines are still needed. to reduce the rate of severe illness and death These are the recommendations of the Immunization Sub-Committee, which has doctors, scientists, experts. jointly consider and also see should receive a booster vaccination for immunization, annually
Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Health said The media should help each other understand the people. So people won’t panic. During the past COVID The bully caused people to lose a lot of opportunities. Severe COVID patient dies in ICU There are many losses after vaccination according to the cycle that determines the death rate. The infection rate has decreased. Even when infected, the symptoms are not as severe as before without the vaccine. Many things have to be considered when having a vaccine compared to when it wasn’t. Currently, most Thai people receive 5-6 doses of the vaccine. Some people are infected with additional immunity. The infection even today is not severe. For people in normal health
On the side of Dr. Yong Phuwarawan, Head of the Center of Excellence in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted on Facebook on the topic of COVID-19, the strain that almost all XBB is found in. Bruised infection is not uncommon. COVID outbreaks are seasonal. in the rainy season as previously expected And will continue to spread until July, August and will start to decrease in September. Most of the currently found strains are XBB, with Dao Duangkaew or XBB.1.16 being the dominant strain. It was found that immunity caused by vaccines injected in the past. Starting from the Wuhan breed and two strains of BA.5 were added to the vaccine. The resulting immunity could not prevent infection with the XBB strain. Re-infection, as previously mentioned, in a study of 250 people found that the second severity was less than the second. very first
“Having a third infection is not uncommon. Like influenza, when strains change. can be new again So is COVID as the species changes. It can be another, but the main immunity. When it helps to protect, reduces the severity, but does not prevent infection, ”said Dr. Yong.
and that in the future, vaccination must be predicted in advance like influenza species to spread In what direction will it change? For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) now advises vaccine companies to produce vaccines that are strain XBB. It will take at least 6 months until the virus will change the species again. The chasing was not in time.
In addition, Dr. Yong also revealed that there is a good story that we have studied. Mutation rate If compared to the early stages of COVID The mutation rate is very fast and high. Coming to the past year, the mutation rate has slowed down, at a rate of 1.2 – 6.7 positions per thousand per year. This virus has a total of 30,000 locations. Looking at this rate, it is close to influenza A, so the trend of this virus. Everything is close to influenza A. In the future, if you get a different strain of infection, there is a chance that you will be able to get it again.
