Wuhan experts: domestic vaccine can’t help Shijiazhuang infected people

According to the mainland media, Yang also pointed out that if these latent or early stage patients can be vaccinated with ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine, so that the body produces a specific protein, there is a chance to neutralize the virus, especially in the case of patients who do not have much virus in their bodies, the chances are higher.

Inactivated vaccine is the main project of China to develop 2019 coronavirus disease vaccine, it is pointed out that this vaccine is injected into the human body, the body will produce antibodies against the virus, once infected with the virus, the body produces antibodies to produce resistance to the virus, which is equivalent to improving the immunity of the body. However, Yang said that the domestic inactivated vaccine can only produce the role of prevention of infection for normal people, equivalent to “repair the Great Wall”; for patients who have been infected with the virus, or in the incubation period, there is “nothing you can do”.
