Does the COVID-19 vaccine cause illness? – Diseases

“We often wonder how coronavirus vaccines came about so quickly. I have worked in this field for more than 20 years and I understand how long a vaccine has arrived. It is necessary to clarify that the current vaccines that we are awaiting permission are new variants of the ones that were developed a long time ago. There were variants of the virus 10 years ago: SARS and MERS. Bulgaria stayed away from them. ” This was explained in the study of “Hello, Bulgaria” on Nova TV by Dr. Radosveta Filipova, secretary of the National Vaccination Office and state expert of the Ministry of Health.

According to her, each vaccine is monitored. According to the expert, the new option is highly innovative and cannot cause disease. “I will give an example with the vaccine against hepatitis B. It is mandatory for babies and it is recombinant. So far no one has been infected with the disease. We need to believe a little more in science, ”explained Dr. Filipova.

Kovachev: It should be explained what the effect of the vaccine would be.

He also explained that most vaccines have 2 doses for long-lasting immunity.. “There is always the possibility of getting infected during this time, but even if that happens, there should be no problem,” said the expert.

Dr. Radosveta Filipova said that she will be vaccinated, but does not know which vaccine she will use. “We have little information on the product data. We do not have a brief description of the different vaccines,” he concluded.
