Index – National – Cecília Müller: There will be twenty-five vaccines at the beginning of the year

The best news from the treatment of the epidemic is that 70,000 more vaccines arrived in the morning, allowing an additional 35,000 health workers to be vaccinated, the national medical director said on Wednesday in a statement from the operative tribe.

Cecília Müller added that additional doses of vaccines have already been ordered and that shipments will arrive in several batches at the beginning of the year.

The national medical director pointed out that vaccines are administered according to the schedule, in accordance with the vaccination plan. So, in the first round, healthcare workers will receive the vaccine, including those who work in emergency and intensive care departments, as well as those who specifically care for coronavirus patients.

He added that the vaccines will now be available to both GPs and primary care workers. He also said that in a few days the range of vaccination places will be expanded, while now in 21 places, until the beginning of next year

After the health workers, there will be workers and residents in the social institution, depending on the amount of vaccine, the number of people entitled to vaccination will be expanded to include those who are actively involved in the management of the epidemic.

Cecília Müller said that almost 600,000 people have indicated that they want to be vaccinated. 462 thousand people have already registered on the vakcinainfo.gov.hu ​​website and 136 thousand retirees have returned the registration letter. He indicated that those who have not yet registered can do so safely.

There is a strict vaccination schedule. Applicants must first complete a questionnaire, based on which the doctor will decide if they can be vaccinated. You must also sign a declaration of consent. Cecília Müller stressed: vaccination is not mandatory, but it is recommended.

None of the vaccines provide 100 percent protection, none of which are known

– He said. However, he also added that vaccines should not be feared because they are proven. He acknowledged that a vaccine could not be developed in three months, but this vaccine had been researched before, it was not developed from scratch.

Although vaccination has started, hygiene rules must still be followed. The future goal is to develop immunity. This requires two shots. The second dose should be administered on day 21 after the first vaccination, with full protection within a week after the two vaccinations.

On the side effects, he said, like all drugs, they can be vaccines, but if they do occur, they are still mild. Redness or swelling may appear at the injection site, which resolves on its own. In rare cases, swollen lymph nodes or muscle pain, depression and possibly an allergic reaction can occur, but vaccines are prepared for this.

Everything must be done to stop the epidemic, now with a new control option, the administration of the vaccine. Cecília Müller, therefore, asks the population for patience, because as he himself said: there is more behind us than before us.
