Covid-19: a fourth essential dose in the face of the resumption of the epidemic

Covid-19 cases have been on the rise again in recent days. Tuesday July 5, the journalist and doctor Damien Mascretpresent on the set of 19/20, explains that the fourth dose of the vaccine reserved for fragile and to over 60, is “essential for at least two reasons”. “The first is that by doing a reminder, we will raise our antibody levels for a few weeks, and that will reduce the risk of being contaminated. So, it is not negligible because first of all, we are in the midst of an epidemic wave”explains Damien Mascret.

The fourth dose of vaccine also prevents “the after-effects for those who have long Covids. So it’s important”says Damien Mascret. “The second reason is also that by issuing this reminder, we will further reduce your risk of serious Covid and hospitalization a little more”continues the journalist. Should the mask be imposed again in certain places? “That seems difficult, because the government, as we have seen, is now betting on responsibility. He considers that after two and a half years of Covid, everyone knows what to do”concludes Damien Mascret.
