Alexandru Rafila spoke with Digi24 about the contraindications of the vaccine against the new coronavirus. He said that very few conditions prevent the administration of the vaccine and that a simple cold or an allergy are not obstacles to vaccination. Even those who have already had COVID can get vaccinated, but it is good to do so after a period in which the body acquires the natural immunity developed as a consequence of the disease.
“There are very few diseases that contraindicate vaccination. We are talking mainly about acute diseases, febrile diseases, but they are very serious. A simple cold does not contraindicate vaccination, and people who have a small cold can be vaccinated. The only problem is rather related not to an absolute contraindication, but to the efficacy of the vaccination. It could be people who are immunosuppressed due to a treatment or a condition and for whom, if desired, it would be more difficult to respond to the vaccine. This does not mean that they cannot On the contrary, they can be vaccinated, but sometimes the results are not so spectacular. “, Alexandru Rafila stated on Friday, on Digi24.
Can people with autoimmune diseases get vaccinated?
He says the vaccine also poses no danger to people with autoimmune diseases.
“Those with autoimmune diseases can consult their doctor, because these autoimmune diseases are treated chronically with various drugs. But keep in mind that this vaccine, unlike the classic ones, which contain adjuvants that increase immunity, does not contain such a thing. and it is simply a small portion of messenger RNA that leads to the synthesis in our body of a protein similar to the viral one. So we are not talking about adjuvants or substances that evaluate the immune system in particular. “, the doctor also specified.
Can allergy sufferers be vaccinated?
People with severe allergies should not be excluded from vaccination, but should only be monitored after administration so that they can intervene quickly if necessary.
“Rather, in people who often have quite severe allergies, those people should be administered with caution, but even those people should not be excluded from vaccination – of course, if they want this, it is not a mandatory vaccine.” But steps must be taken so that in the event of a severe allergic reaction, immediate action can be taken. “said Alexandru Rafila.
Can those who have had COVID be vaccinated?
People who have had COVID can be vaccinated, but it is good to allow some time for the body to develop the natural immunity acquired as a result of the disease.
“People who have had COVID can be vaccinated, there is currently no exact specification related to this issue. My advice is to have a certain time interval from the moment of infection to the moment of vaccination, because it is good to let this cycle of natural immunity that occurs after the disease occurs, and then the administration of the vaccine will only strengthen. natural immunity obtained by infection. Therefore, people who have been through the disease can consider an interval of 2-3 months after infection for vaccination. I will, probably in March-April I will be vaccinated against the new coronavirus “, the doctor also pointed out.
