Producers of one of the world's most popular vaccines -- Pfizer's and BioNTech -- say a third dose may be needed to reinforce the protection from Covid-19, approximately a year after the first two doses.

German company co-founder BioNTech Ugur Sahin explains that when the maximum effect of the vaccine is achieved and the reduction of antibodies begins.

Our “Vaxin achieves the maximum effect 7 days after the second dosage and starts to effect 12 days after the first dose. Before, there's almost no communication. 12 days is minimum. ”

“Efficiency is high, of 95%, and this has also been proven by data in the real world. For example, in Israel, where over 5 million people have been vaccinated, efficiency there is 96 or 97%. ”

But, after six months, the defence decreases to 91%, while after 8 months the antibodies drop significantly. Thus, it will take a third dose to restore immunization close to 100%; Maybe nine months later, not 12 months later. I think probably the reinforcement dosage will take every year or every 18 months”, Sahin said.
