Topic: Spacing Pfizer Covid-19 shots boosts antibody levels after initial drop: Study (Read 92 times)

Look at you, admitting that vaccines work, and you almost got it right, aside from the fact that mRNA vaccines don't produce the virus, but merely instruct cells to create a part of the spike protein to trigger the immune response. Well done, keep learning and you'll get there one day.

Of course the body is going to produce antibodies when you dump a bunch of virus  producing mRNA into it.

if vaccination is mandatory in your country, then you are obliged to vaccinate, although since this is a disease that is killing many people, you have a moral obligation to go vaccinate and with that you will be saving your life and saving the government with expenses of oxygen in case you have severe covid symptoms. be a responsible person and get vaccine if it is available in your country

Take your 4th dose and don't mess with my body, as it's my choice, aka my body, my choice. And be strong for the 5th one... if you survive the previous ones...

I saw this study early on but it doesn't seem many medical professionals are advising their patients to space out the doses. Could be they're afraid that their patients will just get lazy and not get the second dose, but this might be something 3rd world countries could benefit from. They won't have the luxury of stockpiling vaccines for 3rd booster doses, so better to prolong the immunity any way you can.

I'm not surprised. Spacing it out gives your natural immunity a chance to recover. That's what gives you your protection

"For the longer dosing interval... neutralising antibody levels against the Delta variant were poorly induced after a single dose and not maintained during the interval before the second dose," the authors of the study, which is being led by the University of Oxford, said.

"Following two vaccine doses, neutralising antibody levels were twice as high after the longer dosing interval compared with the shorter dosing interval." Neutralising antibodies are thought to play an important role in immunity against the coronavirus, but not the whole picture, with T cells also playing a part.

The study found overall T-cell levels were 1.6 times lower with a long gap compared with the short dosing schedule of three to four weeks, but that a higher proportion were "helper" T cells with the long gap, which support long-term immune memory.

The authors emphasised that either dosing schedule produced a strong antibody and T-cell response in the study of 503 healthcare workers.

The findings, issued as a pre-print, support the view that while a second dose is needed to provide full protection against the Delta variant, delaying that dose might provide more durable immunity, even if that comes at the cost of protection in the short-term.

Last December, Britain extended the interval between vaccine doses to 12 weeks, although Pfizer warned there was no evidence to support a move away from a three-week gap.

Britain now recommends an eight-week gap between vaccine doses to give more people high protection against the Delta variant more quickly, while still maximising immune responses in the longer term. 카지노검증사이트

"I think eight weeks is about the sweet spot," Ms Susanna Dunachie, joint chief investigator on the study, told reporters.
