Some countries have changed the concept of 'full vaccination': now you need 3 vaccinations against COVID-19

The declining immunity and the rise in infections due to the Delta variant have prompted some countries to redefine the term “fully vaccinated,” which usually means two shots against COVID-19. Writes about it CNN.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said boosters are vital to prevent re-imposition of restrictions due to the pandemic.

“It's pretty clear that getting three shots is going to be a big deal and will make your life easier in every way,” he said.

Other European countries are also thinking about introducing mandatory supplementary vaccinations. In France, by December 15, anyone over 65 will need a third dose to confirm their vaccination status, President Emmanuel Macron said.

In Austria, full vaccination status expires nine months after the second dose, which effectively means revaccination. In Israel, if 6 months have elapsed since the second dose of the vaccine, you will need a third dose to receive a "green pass" that allows you to enter gyms, restaurants and other places.

Global health experts fear that booster use is affecting the supply of initial doses in low-income countries, where only 4,6% are vaccinated.

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it was a "scandal" that six times more boosters are administered daily worldwide than primary doses in low-income countries.

“There is no point in giving boosters to healthy adults or vaccinating children when health care workers, the elderly and other high-risk groups around the world are still waiting for their first dose,” he said.

The supply of vaccines is a priority for wealthy countries that have moved ahead of the line by paying higher prices to pharmaceutical companies, Oxfam's health policy advisor Anna Marriott told a group of British parliamentarians on coronavirus.

“If we look at low-income countries as a whole, less than 1% of the total vaccines have been delivered to these poorest countries, many of which are in Africa,” she said.

According to Dr. David Nabarro, WHO's special envoy for COVID-19, this is a gamble for rich countries.

“This has never happened before, and it would really be an inappropriate public health strategy,” he said. With so much still to be learned about the virus, using vaccines as the main weapon against COVID-19 could lead to the emergence of new variants, Nabarro warned.

What needs to be done is a “combined approach” using masks and other medical interventions “to ensure that people can avoid contracting the pathogen,” he concluded.
