Only public health measures, not vaccines, can prevent a new outbreak of the new coronavirus, the World Health Organization warned today on the occasion of the launch of the vaccination program against COVID-19 in Britain.
"Vaccines are an important tool, they will be very helpful, but the effect of the vaccine on creating a kind of immune barrier is still a long way off," said Dr. Margaret Harris, responding to a question from reporters in Geneva. whether the vaccines against her COVID-19 come at the right time to prevent a third pandemic in Europe.
"What needs to be done to prevent an increase, an upward trend, an outbreak or whatever you want to call it, are public health measures," he said.
