Covid Mask and Vaccine

The Covid-19 vaccine is already a reality after the 90-year-old British Margaret Keenan became the first person to receive her dose officially. This is the first stone to achieve the collective immunity necessary to close the epidemic situation that most countries in the world are suffering due to the coronavirus.

However, the vaccination campaign is a process that will take months to bear fruit and, therefore, caution must be exercised. For the time being, vaccination does not exempt the use of masks.

This is due to a number of factors. The first of these is that the protection offered by the vaccine is not 100 percent . In addition, to achieve immunity in the population, so that the transmission of the disease is minimal, it is necessary that around 60 or 70 percent be vaccinated . This is something that will probably not happen until at least the end of 2021.

Only from this date and having achieved the aforementioned percentage could the use of the mask begin to relax. In any case, this device has come to stay and accompany us throughout our lives.

It may gradually stop being used in open spaces and other well-conditioned areas , but ideally it will continue to be used in seasons such as the flu season or in places where there are large crowds of people.

Likewise, the data that is known about the different available Covid vaccines comes from clinical trials , so it is advisable to wait until it is known what their results will be in the field after the vaccination campaigns to obtain conclusive results.

We recommend that you periodically consult the information published by the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs on the Covid Mask and Vaccine.
