The huge demand for flu vaccines has caused shortages in health centers. From “Trampoline” it has been announced that new quantities will arrive on Monday, from the Netherlands and France.
This year, 30 percent more people were vaccinated against seasonal flu than last year, said the director of the “Trampoline” Institute, Verica Jovanović.
– So far about 400,000 people have been vaccinated. There are still foreign vaccines, but in very small quantities. The Ministry of Health and the Government of the Republika Srpska, with additional efforts in accordance with the interest of our citizens, have provided additional amounts that will be delivered continuously in the coming months – said Jovanović for TV “Prva”.
She is satisfied with so many responses, saying that they are the result of a two-week vaccination and that the vaccine produced by the Torlak Institute is sufficient.
Crisis staff member Darija Kisić Tepavčević told B92 that a quadrivalent (Pasteur) vaccine from France arrives on Monday, followed by vaccines from the Netherlands.
– 30,000 influenza vaccines will arrive from France on Monday, and then another 200,000 doses will arrive from Holland (Mylan) – reveals the deputy of the Serbian Institute of Public Health “Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut”.
Pavle Zelic of the Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices said monitoring of Torlak’s vaccine was underway, with the desire to find out if new side effects would occur.
– So far, we do not have any negative reports and we hope it continues like this, that is, that we have adequate safety and continue with the long-term use of this vaccine – said Zelic.
The European Medicines Agency has announced that it will approve one of the three crown vaccines early next year. The question is how long will we wait in Serbia before we can use them.
– That time has accelerated significantly, we have the possibility to approve vaccines that have already been approved in the EU according to the legal provisions in an abbreviated procedure, but that does not mean that they will not be controlled in Serbia. This process can take up to several months, says Zelic.
