Greetings to all my dear readers and followers of this valuable community, continuing with my publications today I will share with you the possibility that exists about a possible third vaccination as a booster measure against COVID-19, although it has not been specified when it can be done, it is estimated that it could be at the beginning of the year 2022.

Undoubtedly, COVID-19 continues to be a topic of discussion and this time there is something very positive about the possibility of being able to apply a third dose of vaccination as a booster measure against this deadly disease that has claimed millions of lives in the world since its appearance. Studies have already been conducted where this possibility of applying a third dose is very effective, one only has to wait the necessary time lapses since the application of the second dose that was applied, which is 90 days.

According to Our World Data until the 19th of this month, which is about to end, only 0.59% of the world's population had received a third booster dose of some of the vaccines that are currently being implemented. There are many countries that are working and making links to be able to apply this third dose of vaccination, since the effectiveness in the studies carried out is very positive, where the results showed an increase of immunity against the virus by more than 70%.

Venezuela is one of the countries that has joined this initiative to apply a third dose of inoculation against COVID-19 and it is estimated that by the beginning of the year 2022 it could be starting this vaccination journey with a third dose, at present the application of vaccines has accelerated and more and more citizens have been vaccinated. The vaccines currently being applied in Venezuela are the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, and the Chinese vaccines Sinopharm and Sinovac. According to spokesmen linked to the Venezuelan government, priority in the application of the third dose of vaccination will be given to workers of the health and education sectors.

It is estimated that the vaccine to be used in the third dose will be the Russian vaccine Sputnil Light, since it is one of the vaccines that has shown the greatest effectiveness when combined with other vaccines. This information was provided by the Gamaleya Center, creator of this vaccine, although the implementation of other vaccines such as Moderna, Pfizer and J&J is not ruled out. Undoubtedly, this is very good news for the world and especially for Venezuelans, since this third vaccination as a booster measure will help to resume the daily life of the population.
