And now that the Vax Day, What happens? Questions and doubts about the Pfizer vaccine (and those who come) against him Coronavirus They are many. Who can do it? Is there a specific order? Can anyone say no? We try to answer all frequent questions.
Covid vaccine, Pfizer’s second load of 470,000 doses in Italy on Tuesday
V-day for only 9 thousand, we are the last in Europe
Covid Vaccine, Even Oxford Serum Going Green
IS THE VACCINE REQUIRED?
No, at this time the government has decided that the injection will be voluntary. Even medical and healthcare personnel can decide not to. However, the government, if the number of members is low, could activate the obligation.
How much does it cost to get vaccinated?
Vaccination is free for everyone.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE VACCINATED IN PRIVATE FOR A FEE?
No, the currently available vaccines will only be used in the facilities defined by the Vaccine Plan and will not be available in pharmacies or in the private market. Attempting to obtain the vaccine by alternative means or on the Internet is strongly discouraged. These channels do not give any guarantee on the quality of the product, which could be, in addition to being ineffective, dangerous for health.
IS THE PROTECTION EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY?
No, it is protected from a week after the second injection.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROTECTION LAST?
We still don’t know for sure. According to experts, at least six months after the injection of the second dose.
WHO ALREADY HAD THE VIRUS CAN GET VACCINATED?
Yes, experts also recommend it because it is not yet clear how long immunity to the virus lasts, if it is infected and then recovers.
CAN VACCINATED PEOPLE TRANSMIT THE VIRUS?
We have not yet reached a determined answer. For this reason, AIFA’s advice is to continue taking protective measures such as a mask.
CAN I INJECT A SECOND DOSE OF A BRAND DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST?
Aifa does not recommend it: there are not enough in-depth studies on the interoperability of vaccines yet.
CAN ANYONE WITH ALLERGIES GET VACCINATED?
You should check with your doctor before proceeding. In any case, anyone who has experienced a severe allergic reaction after the first dose should not receive the second.
CAN PREGNANT OR INFANT WOMEN GET VACCINATED?
At the moment, no contraindications have been detected. However, the studies are still limited. Aifa recommends that you consult with your doctor to assess the risks and benefits.
CAN CHILDREN BE VACCINATED?
No, it can only be injected from the age of 16.
CAN PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES GET VACCINATED?
Yes, indeed they are the ones that are strongly recommended to do so, because they are the ones most at risk.
I JUST GOT THE FLU VACCINATION, CAN I ALSO PROTECT MYSELF FROM COVID?
There are not yet enough studies to evaluate any interference. Aifa, as a precaution, suggests waiting at least two weeks between one vaccination and the next.
DO VACCINES ALLOW YOU TO GO BACK TO BEFORE LIFE?
Even if the effectiveness of the vaccine is very high (more than 90%) there will always be a portion of people who will not develop the immune defense, in addition, we still do not know definitively if vaccination only prevents the manifestation of the disease or even the transmission of infection. That is why being vaccinated does not confer a certificate of freedom, but it is necessary to continue adopting correct behaviors and measures to contain the risk of contagion, such as the use of a mask.
DOES THE VACCINE PROTECT ONLY THE PERSON RECEIVING THE INJECTION?
Yes, but if many of us are vaccinated, we could partially reduce the circulation of the virus and therefore also protect all the people who cannot be vaccinated: it is the so-called group immunity.
