A researcher at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Amin Soebandrio accentuated the importance of the COVID-19 full dose vaccination coverage for people in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
A minimum 70 percent of the Indonesian population must be vaccinated, with a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to form herd immunity in the country.<\/p>\n
“The ability to form herd immunity is important for now,” Soebandrio said here on Friday.<\/p>\n
However, the immunity developed from the COVID-19 vaccination does not last forever to protect people from the infection. Over time, the immunity that is formed from both the COVID-19 vaccinations and natural infection will decrease.<\/p>\n
According to research, immunity after a full dose of COVID-19 vaccination can last up to 12 months. After that, the immunity will decrease, he remarked.<\/p>\n
However, the body that already has the ability to form antibodies will have memory cells to re-form immunity to fight the same virus.<\/p>\n
Hence, if people get infected by the coronavirus, their memory cells will remember and try to form immunity to fight the virus infection.<\/p>\n
“Immunologically, our immunity has a memory that can remember. That is an important factor that later if we are infected with the same or similar virus, the body will form immunity more quickly,” Soebandrio noted.<\/p>\n
Hence, in the midst of the limited availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, he emphasized that vaccination priority at this time is accelerating COVID-19 immunization through administration of a complete dose rather than a booster injection.<\/p>\n
By forming herd immunity in the community, people can build a shield to prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from finding new human hosts to infect the body and mutate.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Indonesian government continues to bring in COVID-19 vaccines from various sources to meet the needs of the community and increase the achievement of COVID-19 vaccination. The government is also developing a domestic vaccine called Merah Putih vaccine.<\/p>\n
