What do experts say – when can we reach COLLECTIVE IMMUNITY?

We can be on the threshold of collective immunity if we vaccinate two million citizens, to which we will add the number that acquired antibodies after healing from the coronavirus, which would be somewhere between 60 and 70 percent, says epidemiologist and a member of the Crisis Staff Branislav Tiodorovic.

We can reach two million in 15 days

According to him, we can reach two million vaccinated citizens in 15 days to a month, depending on the dynamics of delivery of vaccine manufacturers.

„We can really vaccinate 2 million citizens even in 15 days, and today there will be a good number of those vaccinated as well, thus if the dynamics went a little faster depending on the manufacturer, then that would be great indeed,“ Tiodorovic stated with the Blic daily newspaper.

Jankovic: It is too early for effects

Immunologist and a member of the Crisis Staff, Srdja Jankovic, says that it is still early to see effect that is visible on a collective level, regardless of the number of doses, and he hopes that it will be visible during this year. A few days ago, a research paper was published in Israel where the effect is clearly seen in the age groups that received the vaccine.

„The forecasts for the day and the month are ungrateful. It is important that we continue with full intensity and full capacity, thus the effect will not be lacking“, says Jankovic.

Antibodies following Sinopharm vaccine are established in around 40 days

Marija Gnjatovic from the Institute for the Application of Nuclear Energy stated this week that antibodies are formed faster after the Pfizer vaccine, because it is quickly synthesized with a protein, which is crucial for antibodies, „but that is not the most important thing, but how long it will remain in our circulation and protect us instead.“

When it comes to the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, which majority of our population has now received, she reminds that its concept is different in relation to the Pfizer and Sputnik V vaccine.
