Bishkek, Oct. 4, 2021 . / Kabar / . As of Oct. 4, a total of 43,100 people in Kyrgyzstan have received the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine against coronavirus infection, and 23,660 have been vaccinated with the second dose, the Republican Center for Immunoprophylaxis said Monday.
AstraZeneca vaccines will arrive in the country in the middle of this month. Those who received the first dose of vaccine will be able to get the second one.
According to research, published in the medical journal The Lancet, the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine increased to 81,3% when the second dose of the vaccine was given 12 weeks after the first one.
The results obtained indicate that a longer interval between dosing increases the immune response.
Research data published by the University of Oxford as a preprint in The Lancet showed that high antibody titers persist for at least one year after the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine.
