Highlights:

- Sawmiya informed that he could not say for sure about the booster dose.
World Health Organization chief scientist Sawmiya Swaminathan has said that the incidence of corona will rise globally.
Even though the incidence of corona in India has not increased significantly, fears of a 3rd wave are still lingering in the minds of the people. Sawmiya Swaminathan said that in this situation the impact of corona will increase all over the world.
In an interview with a TV channel, he said that the increase in vaccinations has reduced the incidence of diseases and deaths. However, the epidemic is on the rise in many European countries. The number of hospitalized patients is increasing in many countries. The death toll did not increase, however. It comes from the bandwagon. There is no big increase in that. So we have been able to control the increase in deaths due to vaccination.
People at high risk have been vaccinated almost entirely. This is a good thing. Those who receive two doses of the vaccine receive at least one year of protection. Some people also have the opportunity to get this protection for an extended period of time. Even if the level of antibodies in our blood is low, it is thought that the impact of the vaccine will not be as great a risk as it would be in the blood.
Complete studies on booster dose and mixing of various vaccines are not yet complete. We are waiting for that data. Until then we cannot say any definite conclusion, ”said Sawmiya Swaminathan.
