Hunor Novák: Viktor Orbán was badly vaccinated

Novák Hunor according to him he was vaccinated incorrectly Viktor Orbán, the doctor wrote about this in a Facebook post on Tuesday. Earlier, a video was uploaded to the prime minister’s community page showing Orbán receiving a flu shot, but Novák wrote that there were several errors in the recording.

The doctor assumed that the head of government had received the vaccine to be administered in the deltoid muscle because the intramuscular injection should only be administered in the area shown in the images. Novák pointed out that it is a type defect that in this case the skin is pinched in the way shown in the video, since it must be done when it is inoculated into adipose tissue.

If injected into the skin fold, the end of the needle, and therefore the vaccine can easily enter adipose tissue, the vaccine may be ineffective or cause more serious local side effects (itchy lumps, inflammation, possibly necrosis of adipose tissue).

Hunor Novák emphasized that this type of method is not a criticism of the given doctor, but of the educational system, and even today young doctors are wrongly taught how to give the vaccine in many places. He added that two other bad practices can be seen in the video: one is that the syringe is sucked back after insertion, which only increases pain, but when administered into the shoulder muscle it is incorrect and is not even recommended. by international professional guides. The other is that it is better to inject into the muscle quickly, there is no need to slap the area.

The doctor noted:

I also learned this way, as shown in the video. Because “that’s how we used to.” But after that I read, I changed, I hope more colleagues will do so in the future!
