The first seven special refrigerators are in Greece, where the Pfizer / BioNtech coronavirus vaccines will be stored.
In fact, seven more are expected next month.
Vaccines are stored in specially designed cold rooms, with temperatures of -80 degrees Celsius. Each refrigerator holds 100,000 vaccines.
According to OPEN, four of the seven refrigerators arrived by truck in the previous days.
Greece is one of the first countries to acquire special cold rooms.
Some of them will remain in the central warehouses, while the remaining cold stores will be moved to five or six central points, according to the plan of the Ministry of Health and EODY.
Christmas in Greece the first 200,000 installments
It is observed that according to the latest information, transmitted by MEGA, around Christmas we are expected to have the first 200,000 doses of the vaccine.
In fact, 100,000 people will be vaccinated initially (100,000 in two doses), all of them will belong to the medical and nursing staff of our country.
In fact, as MEGA reveals, for toilets only, the batch will not be broken. Both fees will be at your expense.
About a month later, the following batches
Soon, 1 to 1.5 months later, the next batches will follow.
There the process that has been disclosed will be followed. That is, in order of priority, first the vulnerable groups and then the rest of the citizens, will go to the special vaccination centers to make the first batch of the vaccine.
According to the information, the goal is to have vaccinated up to 50% of the population of Greece by Easter!
What we know about the Moderna vaccine and how it differs from the Pfizer vaccine
The announcement about vaccines against the corona virus sparked a wave of optimism, from Moderna’s announcement that the vaccine it develops is up to 94.5% effective.
The good news follows last week’s news about the Pfizer vaccine, which in turn was 95% successful according to the final analysis.
How does it work
Moderna vaccine technology is based on injecting the genetic code of the coronavirus into the human body.
Thus begins a process of production of virus proteins by the body, but not by the virus itself.
The presence of proteins in our system will “train” it to recognize and fight the virus, in case of infection by it.
Similarities and differences with the Pfizer vaccine
Compared to the Pfizer vaccine, the Moderna vaccine has similarities and differences.
Initially, both vaccines were based on the genetic code of the virus.
The protection they appear to provide, based on early tests, is also roughly at the same level, with the Moderna vaccine showing a slight advantage so far.
The Moderna vaccine, however, appears to be easier to maintain, as it is stable at -20 degrees Celsius for up to 6 months and can be stored in a conventional refrigerator for up to a month.
Pfizer vaccine, on the other hand, should be stored at -75 degrees Celsius for a long time and can be stored in a simple refrigerator for up to 5 days.
It is safe;
Finally, when it comes to the safety of the new Moderna vaccine, the only side effects that it appears to have caused so far to those injected were mild, short-term fatigue, headaches, and mild physical pain.
However, according to Dr Peter Openshaw of Imperial College London, these are the symptoms one should expect from any vaccine that “does its job”.
