今回は、最近よくニュースで聞く、コロナウイルスのワクチンについてです。ほとんどの国では、1種類のワクチンをいかに早く摂取することができるかというところがすごく多いと思います。
現在、スピード感を大切にしながらたくさんの人々がワクチンを摂取できるようになってきていますが、変異型のコロナウイルスが猛威を奮ってきている中でいかに強い免疫力を付けて1回目の摂取からでも感染予防ができるかが大事になってくると思います。
Recently, we hear a lot about vaccination for COVID-19. Different countries are trying to get people to vaccinate as fast as possible with only one vaccination type for each individual.
However, recent research has suggested that combinations of Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccinations boosted immune response more than those who got vaccinated twice using Pfizer, which is thought as one of the best COVID-19 vaccinations.
Vaccination process is getting way faster than before allowing more people to be vaccinated, but there are increasing number of cases with mutant virus. Because there is a time lag between the first and the second dose of vaccination, we are now in the phase of considering how to strengthen our immune response just from one dose.
