“The trend for the future is alarming … The alternation of weight loss and tightening of measures, or the so-called” Skip locks “gives a breath of fresh air to all people because the tension increases for longer periods “. This was told to BNR by Prof. Ventsislav Mutafchiiski, President of the National Operational Headquarters and Head of the Military Medical Academy.
According to him, experts in our country are concerned about what is happening in Europe because of the British strain of the virus.
“People need to find a balance in their natural desire to live a normal life and be protected. As doctors, we are obliged to present the whole truth to the Bulgarian citizens and activate their rational reasoning on this issue, including rational fear. Fear Rationality can prevent us from consciously exposing ourselves to situations that could put us in danger. ”
Professor Mutafchiiski added that work is currently underway to provide larger capabilities that can perform sequencing of large numbers of samples. According to the European Commission, member states must sequence between 5 and 10% of the samples taken.
“It turns out that manufacturers are not that correct as to which country will get what quantities of vaccines,” Professor Mutafchiiski said on the subject of vaccines.
We expect 48,000 doses on February 7, 75,000 on February 14, and 139,000 doses of AstraZeneca by the end of the month. Today, 3,600 doses of Moderna and 17,550 doses of Pfizer are expected on Monday. “We are about to sign a contract with a Seventh company. We should have 18 million doses by the end of the year,” he added.
Regarding the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine in older patients, Prof. Mutafchiiski clarified that the company’s recommendation establishes that it should not be used to vaccinate patients older than 55 years, because this age group was not included in the experimental process.
He stressed that the vaccination calendar in our country is balanced and clarified that its update is close for inclusion in the priority groups of future members of the electoral commissions.
