95 percent of Albanians are immune from COVID-19, says doctor Pipero

Doctor Pëllumb Pipero stated that 95 percent of Albanians have developed immunity from COVID-19, according to a study done by the Institute of Public Health and the Academy of Sciences.

In the show "Good Morning Albanians" on Euronews Albania, Pipero underlined that this makes our country safer and more protected from new variants of COVID-19.

"I think that people have an opportunity to apply the fourth dose of the vaccine, but I am talking about certain segments of the population. Not for the entire population. Those who have taken 3 doses are maximally protected, 100 is not safe. There is a very important news. From the studies done by the Institute of Public Health and the Academy of Sciences, it results that about 95% of Albanians, mainly adults, have immunity", said Pipero.


"This proves that whether it is the fall in contact with the virus or vaccination, they have made it possible to achieve what we call herd immunity, which, unlike other countries, makes us safer, calmer and more protected from variants of new cases of COVID-19", he emphasized. /Telegraph/
