Epidemiologist Predrag Kon told H1 that it does not matter which citizens will receive the vaccine if it is approved by the Serbian Drug Agency. Explaining the statement that the vaccines currently being delivered to Serbia have not been satisfied, Kon says he has no doubt that this will be done, but that “there should be no question.” He adds that he hopes to dissolve the crisis staff “as soon as possible.”
“Why wouldn’t it be possible? I think it is the wish of all citizens. With the relief of the situation, it becomes unnecessary for the seat of the crisis to exist, the institutions must take over their work, “emphasized Kon in the Dan uživo program in H1.
According to him, it is realistic that the crisis headquarters will be needed in the middle of the year, at least the medical part of that headquarters.
Kon says that, speaking of unused vaccines, he wanted to emphasize that “organization is very important.”
“Even when we don’t have a lot of vaccines.” But we have to be ready, to say ‘eat’ every quantity we get, to use it as soon as possible, not only out of need, but to show that we are ready to face vaccination massive, “Kon explained.
He adds that he has no doubt that this will be done, but …
“What prompted me to say that was some hesitation in the media, related to the conversations about what kind of vaccine it is. This is something that is not an issue now, the issue is the fact that a vaccine is coming, and largely number, vaccines of various types, that have received or will receive adequate safety verification, concerns and fears about whether the vaccine will be better or worse is simply not justified, although it is understandable, “Kon said.
However, citizens would like to know if all vaccines are the same, if they protect enough.
“What is guarantor is the fact that the Drug Agency issues certificates. If we begin to understand these technologies, that population will not understand, and then each doctor has their own opinion. That is how what is not very useful is happening and that confuses the public ”, estimates the epidemiologist.
Everyone will be protected with whatever vaccine they receive, Kon says.
“Citizens have the right to have affinity, trust in their doctor, they have the right to care that prevents them from getting vaccinated. Hesitation can be a waste of time, because this is the moment when we must use it to gain herd immunity. So, it doesn’t matter what vaccine you will receive … if we go into the details of who received it, a discussion will start that 90 percent of the people will not understand, ”repeats the H1 interlocutor.
As he said, the effectiveness of the vaccine is in total “90 and more estimates”. “We are also waiting for a Chinese vaccine, for one we already have a general use permit, and then the other got an entry permit,” Kon added.
“The important thing is to guarantee voluntariness, no one will force those who do not want to be vaccinated, the safety of the vaccine and its efficacy are assured, and its availability will be ensured,” he says.
Kon also said that there is a vaccination plan, but that it should be prone to change, depending on the amount of vaccine.
“That plan has been made, first employees and users in nursing homes are vaccinated, then employees in covid areas, there are a series of priorities for health workers,” he emphasizes and adds that it is one more question for the National Immunization Committee how the plan will be implemented. occur.
When asked when he expects the vaccine to be available to all citizens, he said that “based on the information he has, he expects the vaccines to be present in health centers by the end of January.”
Return to school on time
Kon also says that he does not expect the students’ return to school to be delayed, but that we should wait until January 21 to see what the situation will be like.
The H1 guest also says that a drastic jump in the number of infected people is not expected in the following period, because there were no organized New Years Eve and reruns.
“After Christmas, we will see what the increase will be, I expect a slight increase in the number of infected people, but it usually happens with the flu always after Christmas, which is completely normal,” concluded Kon.
