The vaccination plan has reached its fourth stage.

Coronavirus – the second year

More than a year has passed since the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of the emergence of a new, rapidly spreading virus. Since then, there has hardly been a person in the world who has not heard the term Covid-19, and more and more people are mourning a family member or friend with whom the new disease ended as stocks collapsed in weeks and our entire lives were rewritten. by the epidemic. By now, the vaccines have been completed, which in turn raises not only hope, but again many questions, while not only stopping the virus, but also threatening another mutation. You can find the details of this fight in our series of articles.

Since the first vaccine was administered on December 26, until February 15, 336,297 people have been vaccinated, and about 130,000 people have already received the second dose of the vaccine, making 4.7 percent of the population already it is protected from the virus with vaccines, said István. György, Secretary of State for Territorial Administration of the Prime Minister’s Office, head of the National Vaccination Task Force at Monday’s briefing by operational staff.

According to the politician, it is not possible to choose vaccines at the vaccination points, however, those who have registered will receive prior information about which vaccine they will be vaccinated with. István György added that if someone decides not to request the vaccine at that time, they will not be removed from the registered list, they will simply be reclassified to a vaccination point, where they can later receive the vaccine they consider good.

According to the secretary of state, the vaccination plan has reached its fourth stage: it will vaccinate health workers, residents and nurses of nursing homes, registered elderly and chronic patients under 60 years of age. István György described as false news that the elderly between 60 and 70 years would be excluded from the vaccination plan.

According to the secretary of state, so far five vaccines have been approved in the country (Pfizer-Biontech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V, Sinopharm), but so far only four have been vaccinated, since China’s Sinopharm product only will arrive for testing. at the National Center for Public Health on Tuesday.

At the briefing, the Secretary of State said that vaccination with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine had also started, of which 20,000 doses would be delivered to hospital vaccines in Budapest and the countryside. According to György, if the vaccination points function at full capacity with a continuous supply of vaccines, they will be able to vaccinate 1.5 million people a week.

In her briefing, Cecília Müller, national medical director, pointed out that mutation and mortality data are presumably increasing both internationally and nationally due to coronavirus mutations. He added that 7-8 mutants are already mentioned in the epidemic literature.

Responding to a journalist’s question, Lt. Col. Róbert Kiss said that staff from the National Bureau of Investigation were monitoring websites selling “miracle drugs” against the coronavirus. He stressed that these drugs have not been tested, protection is only provided by vaccines purchased through the state.
