Initial (1st and 2nd) inoculation
The new coronavirus vaccine administered in Japan is highly effective in preventing the onset of new coronavirus infections, and it has also been confirmed to be effective in preventing infection and aggravation. Although it is possible that the infection prevention effect and the onset prevention effect may gradually decrease over time, it has been reported that the severity prevention effect remains relatively high.
Additional (3rd) vaccination
It has been suggested that while delta strains are effective in preventing the onset of the disease, their effectiveness in preventing infection and in preventing aggravation in the elderly gradually declines over time. . On the other hand, it has been reported in clinical trials and various epidemiological studies that an additional (third) vaccination is effective in enhancing the reduced infection prevention effect and the severity prevention effect.
It is suggested that the preventive effect of the initial (1st and 2nd) vaccination against the Omicron strain is lower than that against the Delta strain, but recovers with the additional (3rd) vaccination. The hospitalization prevention effect is also reduced to a certain extent compared to the delta strain, but it is more maintained than the onset prevention effect, and it has been reported that an additional (3rd) vaccination will recover.
Additional (4th) vaccination
While there are reports that the effect of preventing infection lasted only for a short period of time, there are reports that the effect of preventing aggravation did not decline even after 6 weeks and was maintained, suggesting the effect of preventing death.
