Infectious disease doctor Pëllumb Pipero became infected with Covid-19, two weeks after making the anti-Covid vaccine. This was the first case in the country where someone became infected even after the first dose of the vaccine, which raised questions among citizens about the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Regarding the case in question, Silva Bino said that the fact that you made the vaccine does not automatically make you protected.
"Just because you get the vaccine does not mean that you are protected immediately. Antibodies are not created immediately. The fact that Pfizer has a second dose after three weeks means that we get a good response after 3 weeks. We rely on the data. "Pfizer has. So far we can not say that you have full protection. By two weeks after the second dose the protection goes to 95%." - said Bino in an interview with Abc News.
Among other things, she stressed that up to 6 weeks should pass from the first dose because only then can we talk about protection.
"It takes 6 weeks from the first dose to get protection. This applies to all types of vaccines. The coronavirus vaccine we say does not stop the transmission but the disease. Like the flu vaccine. You can get the virus and "You can transmit it. You yourself can pass a very mild form of the disease. You can transmit it to others, but you yourself do not have a severe form."
On the other hand, Pipero himself has reacted by saying that it is "neither the first nor the last case", arguing with the same theory. He also urged people who have so far received the first dose of the vaccine to take the same care as everyone else unvaccinated.
