Coronavirus vaccine can be obtained 3 months after recovery: official

The coronavirus vaccine can be obtained after three months of recovery from the virus, the Ministry of Health and Population, said.

The Ministry of Health and Population added the vaccine reduces the chances of infection with the virus and helps reduce serious complications when infected.

Head of the Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus at Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population, Hossam Hosny, explained that the drugs included in the treatment protocol of the coronavirus and its variants are available in all hospitals and are dispensed free of charge.

The seventh version of the treatment protocol will be updated within hours and new drugs will be added, he continued.

A new mutant from the Omicron, that is called “B4-B5”, has led to an increase in the number of infections, he said, explaining that B4-B5 is a mutant of the coronavirus as well.

The new “B4-B5” is characterized by an increase in proliferation and reproduction, but on the other hand, it attacks the upper respiratory tract, and attacks the lungs only at a very slow rate.

Pharmacies in Egypt started receiving shipments of the first drug to treat the coronavirus, on Tuesday, local media reported.

The drug is manufactured by Eva Pharma, and treats moderate and critical cases infected
