The first doses of the anti-Covid vaccine arrive in Romania even at Christmas. The announcement was made this Thursday by the new Interior Minister, Lucian Bode.
The Strategic Communication Group (CGS) broadcast that the first 10,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine will enter the country on Friday, at Nădlac Customs 2, Arad county.
Likewise, on Saturday other doses of vaccine will arrive at the “Cantacuzino” National Institute for Medical-Military Research-Development, designated the National Center for the storage of vaccines against COVID-19.
Vaccination begins on Sunday, December 27 at the 10 infectious disease hospitals on the front lines of the fight against SARS-CoV-2.
Lucian Bode, Minister of the Interior: “Enter Nădlac and go to Cantacuzino. When it is our turn, according to the established schedule, yes, I, Lucian Bode, will be vaccinated”.
The Cantacuzino Institute has received the necessary permits, as well as carbonated coolers, in which the sera will be taken to testing centers throughout the country.
Andre Baciu, Ministry of Health: “The doses will come by land transport from Belgium, they will enter through the west of the country and from there they will be accompanied by MIA crews to Cantacuzino. These days we will identify who will be the first vaccinated people of us ”.
Information has also emerged on how the general public will be vaccinated, probably starting in the spring. Those interested can make their appointment online, by phone, through the family doctor or social assistance services. However, we will be rescheduled if, once they arrive at the vaccination center triage, they will have a temperature above 37.3ºC. And those who are going to be vaccinated will be followed for 15 minutes, to rule out the appearance of strong side effects.
Andrei Baciu: “We will also involve local authorities, we will also involve medical personnel who can support the steps. That is why we think about all the available options so that the access of the population is as easy as possible ”.
There will be a total of five types of test centers. The fixed ones, the mobile caravans that can go around the country, the teams that will go to residential centers or homes for the elderly, drive through centers -where we can go by car- that can be organized in large cities, but also in medical offices . family.
The first Romanian to be vaccinated: a doctor from Matei Balş
The first Romanian to receive the serum is a doctor from the Matei Balş Institute in the capital. It will happen on the third day of Christmas, Sunday. Then, one by one, 5,000 members of the medical staff of COVID hospitals will be vaccinated.
Klaus Iohannis: “It begins with a symbolic installment, but the next installments arrive after Christmas and will continue until the entire population benefits from the vaccine. These vaccines are safe, effective, and licensed according to the highest European standards. We recommend all Romanians to be prepared to get vaccinated.
The vaccines are 95 percent effective and the side effects are minor. The most common are headaches, soreness at the vaccination site, or fever.
Until more and more Romanians can benefit from the vaccine, the president advises us to be careful.
Klaus Iohannis: “Please, beware of illness and others, it is not a joke. We will not introduce any new vacation restrictions, but the restrictions that exist now remain in effect. They are mandatory, it is not optional ”.
The World Health Organization warns that only vaccination can give us so-called “herd immunity” and can interrupt the chain of transmission. For this to happen, as in the case of other diseases, the population must be vaccinated in a percentage higher than 75%.
In the last 24 hours, 4,310 new diseases have been confirmed and the number of seriously ill patients in intensive care continues to be high: 1,234. Another 146 patients could not be rescued.
Just over 27,000 tests were carried out in the last 24 hours, with more than 10,000 fewer than on the days when about 10,000 new cases were detected.
People infected with Covid-19 have an immunity that protects them for at least 8 months from a new infection
But good news is coming from Australia. The researchers concluded that people infected with Covid-19 have an immunity that protects them for at least 8 months from a new infection.
The study shows that certain cells of the immune system, called memory B cells, “remember” the infection with the virus and, in the event of a new exposure, trigger a protective immune response through the rapid production of antibodies.
The new research is also extremely important for the vaccination campaign, because the results may indicate an even higher efficiency of the sera.
On the other hand, if you have a medical problem on the first and second days of Christmas, you should know that in Bucharest, for example, nine hospitals will treat urgent cases: seven for adults and two for children.
