Infectionist Timakov: 300 units of antibodies are needed to protect against the delta strain
Infectious disease doctor Yevgeny Timakov said in an interview with RIA Novosti that if for old variants of coronavirus infection it was enough to have 150 units of BAU antibodies in order not to get sick, then the number of antibodies for the alpha strain it should be one and a half times more.
According to him, the most aggressive is the delta strain, for it you need to have 300 BAU in order not to get seriously ill.
Earlier, the director of the Gamaleya Center, Alexander Gintsburg, based on a study conducted in conjunction with the Moscow Department of Health, said that 300 antibodies in international units are needed to fully protect against the delta strain. He also noted that if this figure is lower, then you need to be vaccinated with Sputnik Light.
