“A new study in Israel shows that the Pfizer / BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine does not harm sperm. After collecting sperm samples from 43 male volunteers before vaccination and a month after vaccination, it turned out that none of its parameters of sperm (volume, concentration or motility) changed significantly, ”wrote S. Čaplinskas on Facebook.
The researcher stressed that couples who want to get pregnant should get vaccinated because vaccination does not affect sperm, and here, previous studies have shown that coronavirus infection has a negative effect on sperm.
Mass vaccination will begin
As already announced, as of May 10. Public vaccination in stages will start throughout Lithuania. Each week, the vaccine will open to a new age group. Residents on the priority group list but not yet vaccinated are invited to get vaccinated at any time.
Starting next Monday, each week a new age group will be included in the vaccination process:
• from May 10th. – population aged 55 to 64;
• as of May 17th. – population aged 45 to 54;
• from May 24th. – population from 35 to 44 years old;
• as of May 31st. – Population from 16 to 34 years old.
The plan may change if vaccine manufacturers change vaccine delivery schedules.
It is important to note that people aged 16 and over can only receive one of the four vaccines registered and used in Lithuania: Comirnaty (manufactured by Pfizer and BioNTech). And people over the age of 18 can be offered the vaccine Comirnaty (made by Pfizer and BioNTech), Vaxzevria (made by AstraZeneca), Moderna (made by Moderna) and Janssen (made by Janssen Pharmaceutica NV).), Wrote the Ministry of Health. .
The registry will be published on May 17 through the common vaccination registry system. Residents will be able to register for the COVID-19 vaccine electronically by clicking on the links on the municipality’s websites and www.koronastop.lt.
There will also be a single call center number, the 1808 hotline, that will call residents to answer questions about the vaccination process and help them register for the vaccine if they cannot register electronically.
However, there is a much faster way to register for the person online. Also, residents will not only be able to register themselves, but also register someone else!
