israel was the country that was vaccinating the quickest we've been reporting on them quite a bit now chile is administrating more dos's as a percentage of the population. is their case numbers have gone through the roof or talk to a doctor about that in a moment report. the sick plane from china carrying 2000000 doses of sign a fact vaccinations against covert 19 taxis on the runway in chile's capital santiago every 3rd chilean has had their 1st job already that's the kind of vaccination rate that other countries can only dream of. we are very happy not only because we fulfill the needs of the country but because we cannot continue with the higher objective to have vaccines for 15000000 people during the 1st semester of this year. chile is the world's kovac 19 vaccination champion while the e.u. makes sluggish progress on inoculation the country of 19000000 on south america's

pacific coast has already caught up with overtaken vaccine heavyweights like the u.s. and britain chile was quick to get its orders for vaccines in early from astra zeneca johnson and johnson and pfizer biotech but also from sign of attack on the sputnik vaccine presidents have been yet overseas the vaccination campaign personally vaccination centers are everywhere from parking lots to football stadiums nobody has to make an appointment and anyone who's up for their 2nd shot is also free to walk in and get it officials want 80 percent of the country fully vaccinated by june that means her demeanor. however the successful vaccination campaign has yet to translate into a reduction in numbers infected daily infections are reaching record highs health officials fear the campaign may have inadvertently encouraged people to become complacent about prevention measures and take increased risks. alexis college's is director of the millennium institute on immunology and immunotherapy and joins us

from the catholic university of chile how has chile managed to get so quick at vaccinating hi ben thank you for the interview. and my question is we have really a great connection between science and idea we think in the private sector as well as. citizenship together with the fact that you know long history a long provision of luck nations so we have a very well organized for several decades the back to nation program here for all the boxes on to what is going to reach all the way from the north of the country to the south to every small town so we have a very strong network of health care system and provide support for the doctor nation complain so you reckon that's one of the reasons behind this that having

regular vaccine campaigns for other diseases. is behind the success it is something is missing in some countries and is said to have led to so much public skepticism about vaccines in general. right so that's one reason and also. i think that all the many recent years are based on this size the research that we do here we're a long static scottish. collaboration scientific and clinical collaborations with some of the devil a person of our community back say we one of them especially were able to start this hot supply agreement that was transfer from the academia from the couple of university to the government so they almost able to secure a sufficient in boxing those of us to get this strong and massive campaign lalan that together with very active in addition megabucks nation the country

i think has allowed to move for a very efficiently time sulfide but natan but i think the most important point is that the syrian society is very willing to just accent. so they have been very and their vision then the cooperation from the people to the doxy in competing that's been great and we have already said of the population by today what about the fact that case numbers are still rising despite the axing drive being so successful. well they kind of overlap so the vaccine companies started really massively. early february and the numbers were racing for any paper ie it is also a holiday effect but it was seen also europe and the us. we have our summer

break from january and february early march so there arrives the numbers come. out of probably due to the holy period the same the holy see some kind of the same situation there was been a survey in europe in the u.s. . let me just start by that have anything to do with reports that the chinese vaccine is less affected. well there is there a strong man therapy started showing this final lot like seeing 5 patients see. harry 8 percent of a. c.b.e. my own cases and i are one percent for the severe cases some 50 percent for the very my case and so with spect in the psych things 1st to start showing

effect on their hospitalization rates that that raised their status in turkey and then each of the efficacy data showed $91.00 unsavory and 65 percent so they think us of the vaccine based on the clinical studies between 50 and 100 percent depending on the time of the case so it was back to see that they merely. say were to keep the cease fire very you would use an hour when doing also here than to the study just to check the box fail and we have observed so far that about 90 percent of people show the bodies after 2 weeks after the 2nd those so to mix up a 2nd those we had we should be to about 90 percent of them for them tears there were no antibodies and those don't live in the flies ok we'll have to leave the

dallek to scully and just director of the millennium institute on immunology and you know therapy thank you very much for being on the show today think about thank you for mentoring. well the question of vaccine advocacy is a hot button issue right now chile was part of a trial the bastard senate is vaccine along with peru and the united states astra zeneca says its vaccine is 79 percent affected by after the trial of 30000 people which look to clear the way for the jap to get u.s. approval but american health officials now say they're worried astra zeneca may have used outdated information in the trial and may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy dr fama firm is still crunching the latest numbers and says it intends to issue brazil shortly. and it's that part of the show where derek williams and says your questions on the coronavirus. to the different vaccines protect people from the long term effects of covert 19. many patients who

contract covert 19 become what are known as the long haul or as or people who have long covert there's currently no way to predict who that might affect although there isn't really an accepted definition for it having long coat it basically means you don't return to your previous levels of health even months after sars topi to falls below detectable levels in your body it's affected millions of people who have a wide spectrum of longer term symptoms with with chronic fatigue for example a really regular a complaint there are 2 big theories for for what might be causing it one is that long cove it happens when the body can't clear out all of the virus or viral fragments left after infection that basically the virus is able to hide in

some people somehow and then the body goes into a kind of of of trench warfare mode the 2nd hypothesis is that. long tube it is an unchecked auto immune response so so an off the rails immune system in some patients experts say it could be a combination of both but there's no doubt that for people suffering long coated symptoms the prospect of getting vaccinated must be pretty terrifying i mean could getting the shot actually make you feel morse well although i emphasize that we still can't say anything for certain there are a growing number of anecdotal reports that getting vaccinated appears to be actually helping at least some people with long overdue we don't know why. one small study and peer review also at least indicates that more along haulers

feel better then feel worse after being vaccinated the problem is to find out more we would have to conduct trials where some long haul words get posted 19 back scenes and and others get placebos masquerading as covert 19 back scenes i don't think that's going to happen to be honest in the current climate right now i can only say that the general consensus seems to be that long haul ors should also be vaccinated and some anecdotal reports say it might help with sometimes. and because we're all in this for the long haul and not just humans scientists are racing to protect the animals from the coronavirus they often use the same playbook as for people like social distancing and health checks and now back say it's this month the 70 acres or you know they had several aides

with an experimental covert vaccine intended for pets in the animals the 1st known human primates to be vaccinated. the veterinary pharmaceutical company so weight is develops the vaccine that diego zoo australopithecus and a few other apes offer a troop of karylle is tested positive in january visit has gorillas but no bows adarand it's a slightly enjoys which leaves them more vulnerable to the spread of infection. and for watching stay safe and see we're going to.
