They explained that studies have shown that the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine gives protection that can reach 76 percent, however, the protection against COVID-19 drops to 54 percent if the second dose is taken after six weeks or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if the second jab is administered after 11 to 13 weeks, the degree of protection rises to a rate of 82.4 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This decision is adopted by a large number of countries that use this vaccine, said the Crisis Cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
