P.M IK contract virus after the 2nd day of vaccination, question raising on Vaccination authenticity
By Online Indus Reporterupdated : 3 weeks ago
Islamabad: 23 March 2021: The fact is that antibodies start developing five to seven days after getting the first shot of vaccine. After two weeks, antibodies reach to protective levels but it takes 28 days to reach [their] optimum level.“Despite that, it cannot be said that a person has become fully protected from virus as no vaccine has 100 per cent efficacy.
Around 80pc efficacy rate [for Sinopharm] means that a person, despite getting fully vaccinated, can be infected with virus but they will develop minor symptoms and there will be fewer chances of death.”
Experts in the UAE, where Sinopharm is among the main vaccines being employed, corroborate Dr Akram’s stance.“For the vaccines to build up immunity, it takes a couple of weeks after the second dose,” Dr Muhammed Shafeeq, Specialist-Pulmonology at Aster Hospital.Dr Anthony Thomas, Director Diagnostic Division and Pathologist with Prime Healthcare Group, also noted that “the efficacy of the [Sinopharm] vaccine varies from 75 to 85 per cent” and thus immunity is not assured in everyone.
That means even after two weeks of being fully vaccinated, there are slim chances of contracting the virus as no vaccine is a 100pc effective. For Sinopharm, which has an average efficacy of close to 80pc, this means there are chances that one out five people will still not be protected.For other vaccines, such as Moderna and Pfizer, which have higher efficiency.
