The Department of Health (DOH) has reiterated that the vaccination remains the best defense against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), dismissing a suggestion made by an OCTA Research member that the Omicron version could operate as a natural vaccine.

Even with 70 times more virus, OCTA Research Fellow Fr. Nicanor Austriaco said Thursday that the Omicron variety can operate as a natural vaccine as it fights to infiltrate the lungs, and that “the symptoms will likely appear milder.”

Individuals who survive the Omicron version will develop antibodies that may provide protection against it and other variants such as Delta, Gamma, Beta, Alpha, and D614G, according to Austriaco.

As a result, Austriaco declared, population protection is achieved and the pandemic is over.

Mild symptoms, on the other hand, are nonetheless signs of the virus and a mode of transmission, according to DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire.

Even if the variety only causes minor symptoms, the public should not be complacent, Vergeire said in a message to media on Friday night.

“According to the World Health Organization, the Omicron version is still a virus, not a natural vaccination,” she explained. “According to the Department of Health, the more the virus is transmitted, the more it can mutate and proliferate. While natural immunity is important, the Department of Health emphasizes the relevance of vaccine-induced immunity.”

Because not everyone develops natural antibodies to the virus, immunizations provide the best protection and prevent hospitalization, according to Vergeire.

“We have a lesser probability of experiencing severe to critical symptoms now that we have the vaccine.” Similarly, immunizations provide protection not only against the illness but also to others around you, particularly your loved ones,” she noted.

Apart from getting vaccinated, the Department of Health constantly reminds the public to adhere to minimal public health standards in order to avoid increasing the risk of virus transmission and mutation, which could lead to more deadly effects.

“By implementing these protocols correctly, we can contribute to averting a pandemic.” “We don’t want a repeat of the Delta situation when our hospitals are overburdened,” Vergeire added.
