People who have already recovered from COVID-19 may not get vaccinated until the fall. Alexander Gorelov, deputy director for scientific work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, said that antibodies and cellular memory developed during the course of the disease will protect them for another nine months.
Those who have undergone a coronavirus infection at this stage can be absolutely calm and not sign up for vaccination at least until autumn. Absolutely, - Gorelov said on the air of the Doctor TV channel.
He also noted that the disappearance of antibodies after a previous infection is not yet a cause for concern, since they should not be guided by.
Short antibodies live no more than two months, IgG - from four to a maximum of six. And we still have a lifelong T-cell memory, which is strictly specific, therefore, if we have ever met this pathogen, we remember about it for the rest of our lives, '' the specialist added.
Gorelov also commented on the possibility of vaccination for hepatitis C. According to him, there are no clear contraindications for this disease for vaccination, you can get vaccinated in remission.
As NEWS.ru wrote, during an exacerbation of allergies, one cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus. Nadezhda Loginina, an immunologist-allergist, spoke about this. She added that allergy sufferers should not be vaccinated during the spring flowering period, as this can cause an exacerbation. If the allergy is not in an acute stage, then vaccination is not prohibited, the doctor assures.
Allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolibok agrees with her. He noted that it is impossible to vaccinate allergy sufferers during an exacerbation of allergies. Bolibok said that if a person had allergies to any vaccinations, then vaccination against coronavirus is also not worth it. He warned that if this rule is ignored, Quincke's edema or anaphylactic shock may occur.
