“The booster vaccination has to pick up speed now.

What works best?

Change works best! ”Is the clear message of the SPD health expert.

Below it, he publishes a table for a study by the American mRNA biochemist Rob Swanda.

As the table shows, the formation of antibodies is sometimes significantly higher when cross-vaccinated with another vaccine.

The rate for a combination of Johnson and Johnson with Moderna is around 56.1.

For comparison: If you had a third vaccination with the same active ingredient, this value would only be 4.6.

Corona booster vaccination: Lauterbach advises cross vaccination

With double Biontech vaccinations, the rate with a Moderna * vaccination is 17.3 instead of 14.9.

In the case of people vaccinated with Moderna, the value increases from 7.9 to 9.7 when combined with Biontech.

However, one vaccine is missing from the table: Astrazeneca *.

Many people there received a cross vaccination with Moderna with the second prick.

When a follower asked under the tweet which booster is best for Astra vaccinated people, Lauterbach replied: “Was not examined.

But with a probability bordering on certainty Moderna. "

With his specific proposal, Lauterbach is one step ahead of STIKO when it comes to third-party vaccination.

The expert group recommends a booster vaccination six months after the second vaccination at the earliest.

So far, their recommendation is only that this should be done with an mRNA vaccine.

Regardless of which vaccine the person has already been vaccinated.
