In comparison to severe Covid, a booster dosage boosts neutralizing antibodies.
An infectious diseases expert stated Tuesday that receiving a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccination can help enhance neutralizing antibodies that provide protection against severe and essential strains of the coronavirus.
Vaccine Expert Panel member Rontgene Solante indicated an elevated neutralizing antibody provides persons with defense against death from Covid-19 and infection from the Omicron version in a televised public briefing.
“Noong nabigyan tayo ng dalawang dose ng primary vaccination series, medyo bumaba ‘yung neutralizing antibody natin or ibig sabihin ‘yung (When we were given two doses of the primary vaccine series, our neutralizing antibody fell down or our) protection after three to six months,” Solante explained.
Individuals may only receive one booster dose until studies show that it needs to be given every three or six months, he noted.
The existence of the Omicron variety in the country has resulted in an increase in instances since December 2021, prompting some to wonder if booster shots must be given on a quarterly basis.
On Monday night, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III stated that there is still no conclusive evidence that a fourth dosage of the Covid-19 vaccine or second booster doses is necessary to reduce the number of illnesses in the country.
He went on to say that the country’s health officials are working with foreign vaccination specialists on the issue.
Since the vaccination rollout in March of last year, the country has provided 123,365,808 vaccine doses as of Jan. 23.
