Hello, conveyor.Due to studies in Israel, the side effects produced by Pfizer's reinforcement dose have been similar or lower than those produced by the first and second dose.With respect to the time of protection, it is still very early to know.They just started used less than three months ago.

Very good question, Olf.When a natural SARS-COV-2 infection occurs, the defense system produces many types of antibodies, which are directed against various parts of the virus.These antibodies are of two great types: those of neutralizing type and non -neutralizing.Non -neutralizing antibodies are directed against multiple virus structures, while neutralizing antibodies are mainly directed against protein S (spike).

Because both types of people, those who were vaccinated and those who suffered natural disease, have antibodies against the protein s of the spikes, a way of distinguishing them is to measure antibodies against nucleoprotein or nucleocapsid, a structure that only this is onlyPresent in the full virus.

Question about the use of masks

Hello Adriana.A N95 mask can last more than eight hours and is the only one you must use during the whole flight.Remember that number 95 means that it is able to filter 95% of the particles that come into contact with it, so it is called a respirator.Remember also that, although it is possible for a contagion to occur on the plane, that possibility is much less than that it can occur in customs or immigration tails.Keep your distance and wash your hands continuously.

Ask about Merck's antiviral pill

Hello Tania.As we heard in the episode of October 4, the clinical study of phase 3 with Molnupiravir showed that the medicine is effective in preventing the aggravation of COVID-19 in a person with a high risk of complication for suffering from a predisposing disease.It has not been proven that it can be beneficial in a low risk person.

Ask about sanitary measures to combat COVID-19

Hi carmen.That is not true. Los CDC de Estados Unidos recomiendan que dos semanas después de recibir la segunda dosis de Pfizer o Moderna o la única dosis de Johnson & Johnson las personas completamente vacunadas pueden reunirse.
