Over 2000 cases in a single day, the new crown mutant strain "Eta" appeared in Kazakhstan!

According to reports, a mutated strain of the new coronavirus "Eta" has recently appeared in Kazakhstan
.

The Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan stated that the mutant strain may be highly contagious, and the infected person will have symptoms such as high fever, cough, loss of sense of smell and taste
.

The new mutant virus "Eta" was first discovered in the United Kingdom in December 2020 and has now spread to more than 70 countries centered on Europe and the United States
.

The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that the Eta variant strain may have a higher infectivity and weaken the effect of the new crown vaccine.
Therefore, it is listed as a variant strain that "needs attention" by the WHO
.

Up to now, the WHO has tracked 11 new variants and listed Alpha (B.

7), Beta (B.

351), Gamma (P.

2) as "needs" Variant strains of concern, Eta (B.

37) strains are listed as variant viruses that require attention
.

According to WHO's analysis, if the epidemic continues to develop in accordance with current trends, by the beginning of next year, the number of global new coronary pneumonia cases may exceed 300 million!

This staggering data of more than 300 million cases can not help but make people think: In the face of endless variants, can vaccines still provide protection?

Based on research carried out in countries with large-scale epidemics carried out abroad, it can be seen that the overall protection rate of China's new crown vaccine is more than 65% for all symptoms and mild illnesses, and the protection against severe illness and ICU intensive care and death cases are respectively protected.
As high as 87.
5%, 90.
3% and 86.
3%, it fully shows that our country’s vaccine can effectively reduce hospitalization, severe illness and mortality
.

Faced with an endless stream of mutant strains, do we consider stepping up vaccination?

In order to better respond to the epidemic prevention and control, many countries are considering intensified vaccination
.

At present, it seems that after all vaccines are vaccinated, the antibody level will decline over time, but the immune memory still exists
.

Therefore, once infected with the virus, it can stimulate a strong memory response in a short period of time, almost a week, and the antibody will rise sharply
.

Boosting immunization is being studied in various countries.
There is not enough evidence to show that the entire population needs to be vaccinated with a third dose
.

Preliminary observations indicate that there is no need for booster vaccination for the general population who has completed immunization within one year
.

In the face of endless variants, we can't be careless!

The mutation of the new coronavirus is endless, and we must not be careless.
Everyone must be at risk
.

Even if vaccinated, you must continue to maintain personal protective measures: wear a mask, ensure social distancing, gather less, and wash your hands frequently

In addition, pay attention to work and rest, regular work and rest, ensure sleep, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and maintain emotional stability

Let us work together to keep the virus out and let life return to normal as soon as possible
