A corona vaccine has now been approved in Germany.
A new study reveals whether Corona can also be transmitted from vaccinated people.
The number of Corona * cases continues to rise unhindered.
A
vaccine that
is
now also
approved
in
Germany
is intended to remedy this.
But can vaccinated people
still pass on
the
coronavirus
?
Update from January 7th, 2021, 4:08 pm:
According to the latest research results, people who
have survived
a
corona
infection are
immune to a new
infection for
some time
.
Blood sample analyzes should indicate that the body has the necessary
immune cells
after an infection to
rule out
another
disease
.
This protective effect should last at least eight months after the occurrence of the
first infection
.
In the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) study, all components of
immune memory were
analyzed.
It is said to be the largest study of its kind ever carried out.
"Our data suggest that the
immune response
is there - and it remains," reports study author Professor Alessandro Sette from the LJI.
Maybe remain
infected
even years after
infection
protected.
The results give hope that the
immune system will
last a long time even after vaccination.
Immune defense could show evidence of transmission in vaccinated people
Studies have yet to determine
whether the
antibodies
prevent
the transmission of the
coronavirus
via vaccinated people.
However, the LJI's research group is confident that the transmission rate in
vaccinated
people will show a similar pattern of immune responses as in people who
have survived
a
corona infection
.
Research on the
vaccine
is still in its infancy.
Instead, there is more knowledge of how transmission behaves in those who have recovered.
The new study could provide researchers with further insights into how well
vaccinated people
are protected against further transmission.
After corona vaccination: can vaccinated people still transmit the virus?
First report from January 4th, 2021:
Kassel - The
coronavirus
still has the
world under control.
And despite the lockdown, the number of
new corona infections
and deaths is
also increasing
.
The
vaccine
developed in record time by
the pharmaceutical companies Biontech and Pfizer could now be a ray of hope.
In the meantime, vaccinations have also started in Germany.
In this context, however, not all questions have been clarified.
Many wonder whether people who have already been vaccinated
can also transmit
the
coronavirus
?
Corona vaccine protects against Covid-19 - but also against transmission of the virus?
During the Biontech / Pfizer approval process, the
corona vaccine was
tested on numerous participants.
The result:
the
vaccination
reduces the
probability of contracting
Covid-19
by around 95 percent.
In addition, the vaccine protects people of all age groups equally well, including people with previous illnesses.
This is what the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) reports

It was primarily investigated whether the
vaccine
can prevent the disease at all.
Nevertheless, it remains unclear and further research must be carried out as to whether one can become
infected with the virus
despite the
corona vaccination
, but remains without symptoms, according to the IQWiG.
Despite the corona vaccine, the virus could be passed on
A publication by natur.com shows that the
corona vaccine
(AZD1222) from the University of Oxford and Astra-Zeneca completely prevented damage to the lungs of vaccinated monkeys.
Nevertheless, the virus was exhaled through the animals' noses.

Corona vaccine: At the moment, the question is whether you can still infect others despite being vaccinated?

Although the main aim is
to avoid
Covid-19 disease
, it is possible that the vaccination "can neither prevent the infection nor the transmission of SARS-CoV-2." The situation is similar with other vaccine candidates.
Dr.
Sebastian Hoehl, virologist from the Institute for Medical Virology at the University Clinic Frankfurt am Main, told pharmische-zeitung.de: “In the case of the candidates for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, we still do not know whether both the disease and the disease the pathogen can be prevented from being eliminated. ”More precise results are expected in the coming months.
Despite corona vaccination: distance and hygiene rules are particularly important
Professor Uwe Janssens, chief physician at the Clinic for Internal Medicine and Internal Intensive Care Medicine at the St. Antonius Hospital in Eschweiler, recommends
continuing to be careful
despite the
corona vaccine
.
Distance rules should continue to be observed and a mouth and nose covering should be worn.
The question of whether the
coronavirus can
be passed on even though you have been vaccinated has yet to be clarified.
Until then, the following applies: Wait and continue to take
Corona measures
.
Nevertheless, the development and approval of
vaccines give
many people hope.
However, not everyone sees it that way: A clinic employee is said to have deliberately destroyed 500 corona vaccination doses.
The first corona vaccinations * have already started in Kassel.
But many employees of senior citizens' and care facilities as well as hospitals are skeptical.
