The French French Health Authority believes that infected people have already developed an immune defense, “the single dose will have to be administered at least three months and preferably six months after infection”.
Indeed, in a public opinion last Friday, the High Authority for Health (HAS) estimates that a single dose of vaccine is enough in people who have been infected with the coronavirus, without calling into question the general vaccination strategy which establishes a priority order according to the importance of the risk incurred.
The opinion must still receive the downstream of the government to be effective but the latter tends to follow the recommendations of the health authority.
The vaccine still does not exist in Tunisia. By March, Tunisia will receive nearly 700 thousand free doses of coronavirus vaccines.
The representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Tunisia, Yves Souteyrand, confirmed that within the framework of the Covax initiative, 93,600 thousand doses of the anti-Cavid vaccine, produced by the Pfizer laboratory, will be received.
These doses will allow 47 thousand people to be vaccinated among the priority categories, including essentially health personnel while waiting for 600 thousand other doses of the vaccine produced by the Astrazeneca laboratory, which will be received next March.
