translated from Spanish: UK breaks record of new Covid-19 contagions with nearly 58,000 cases in a single day

The UK has broken its daily contagion record by registering 57,725 new ones affected in the last 24 hours, according to the new balance sheet published on Saturday by the British Government. The British authorities have also confirmed 445 more deaths, a total of 2,599,789 contagions and 74,570 deaths. The authorities have confirmed 2,434 hospitalized in recent hours, up to a total of 23,823 people admitted, of these 1,847 with breath asistida.NO MIXING VACUNASOnly, officials of the official British Public Health Agency (PHE) have recommended on Saturday to the population not to attempt to mix vaccines from different suppliers within days of the start of the distribution of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, the second launch after that of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in December. On New Year’s Eve, the British Government issued a guide to Social Security doctors in which it considered it “reasonable” to receive a dose of another vaccine if the first vaccine was not available for the second, mandatory administration in any case. It should be noted that the British Government only recommended this possibility in the event of “immediate high risk”. However, in the face of the confusion created, the head of the British Public Health Immunization Department, Dr. Mary Ramsay, explained to Sky News that the mix is not recommended and should only occur on “rare occasions.” We do not recommend mixing COVID-19 vaccines; if your first dose is the Pfizer vaccine, you should not receive the AstraZeneca vaccine for your second dose and vice versa,” he explained.” It is true that there may be extremely rare cases where the same vaccine is not available, or where it is not known which vaccine the patient received, but it is best not to mix the vaccines,” he added. Each of the two approved vaccines uses a different technology to induce an immune response to COVID-19. Pfizer uses mRNA technology, which introduces into the body a sequence containing genetic instructions for the vaccinated person’s own cells to produce antigens and generate an immune response. The Oxford vaccine uses the same technology as other vaccines by introducing the coronavirus gene into human cells to produce the unique COVID-19 peak protein to which the immune system develops a response if the actual virus enters the body. Associate professor of cell microbiology at Reading University Simon Clarke has corroborated his colleague’s words and warned that vaccine mixing is a “big risk.” “It’s something that’s not fully tested. It could work as it might not and the negative consequences would be enormous,” he said.
