The function of the vaccine itself actually helps the human body to recognize the virus. The vaccine that is accepted by the government is the Sinovac vaccine. Where its function is to turn off the virus. Meanwhile, for the second vaccine or the second dose, it is hoped that it can make anti-bodies formed.
"This vaccine actually helps the human body to recognize the virus. Because what the government currently receives is the synovac vaccine," he added.
Asked the question of whether, after being vaccinated, can someone get Covid-19 again?
It was explained that this body was familiar with Covid-19, after being injected with the vaccine. It may be immune, but the Covid-19 virus is a type of MRNA. Where the genetic mutation is very fast. So that humans will be able to get back but not as badly as before the vaccine was injected.
"Even though it has been vaccinated, that person can come back with Covid-19. However, even though it is not as severe as before the vaccine was injected," he concluded.
