Epidemiologist Zoran Radovanović stated tonight that Serbia will likely receive the coronavirus vaccine in small quantities early next year, and that he does not believe that we will receive the vaccine in the quantity we need before the summer or fall of next year.
At the “Hour Under the Masks” platform, which was held as part of the Vracar talks, Radovanović said that the corona virus vaccine is being tested.
When asked how to know if the vaccine is safe, if the Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices is professional and independent, and if we can trust it, Radovanovic replied that the Agency “has resisted pressure from the government until now.”
He said that when someone decides whether to get the vaccine, it is crucial that the Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices approves it.
According to him, that agency will probably adhere to the criteria of the European Medicines Agency in London.
Radovanovic said that critical situations, such as an epidemic of this magnitude, reveal all the weaknesses of a society.
“It has been fully demonstrated how dysfunctional we are as a society, how much we are not able to deliberately oppose such a threat,” Radovanović said.
He claimed that preparation for this school year was delayed, which is a mistake, but not a concession to politics.
Radovanović assessed that “it was too late and unreasonable” on August 11, when the crisis personnel adopted and forwarded to the government and the competent ministries the Professional Instructions for Organizing and Carrying out Teaching “, planning the school year, without asking any of teachers, no one parent if something is feasible, but decisions are made in a lump sum, which is typical of our system. “
Vesna Vojvodić, from the Nezavisnost teachers union, said they hoped that “the start of the new school year will raise the awareness of the Ministry of Education to provide schools with more technical resources” and organized seminars for teachers that could ensure higher quality of teaching. .
“Nothing has happened since then,” Vojvodic said.
