Tomorrow, the Ministry of Health should make a decision on when and in which cities in Serbia the vaccination against the coronavirus “Sputnik V” will start.
A few days ago, 2,400 doses of the Russian Sputnik vaccine arrived in Serbia. That citizens can trust the vaccine, because professionals work on the safety assessment, says Pavle Zelic from the Serbian Agency for Medicines and Health Products.
“No step has been skipped, especially when we talk about safety, which is what the public is most interested in, and we can give them a dose of certainty that there is nothing controversial in that vaccine,” says Zelic.
Proven Russian vaccine and does not cause side effects.
Sergej Boljević, a doctor from Russia who recently received the vaccine, told H1 that the Russian vaccine was tested and did not cause any side effects. For now, he says, that vaccine has not been tested in children and pregnant women.
“It was used by people between 18 and 60 years old, now a group of people over 60 has died, so we can say that everyone who is over 18 can receive this vaccine. “Children up to 18 will be screened soon, say in the 16-18 age group, then 14-16, and when the exams are over they will be allowed to give them to the children,” Boljevic explains.
Regarding the information that alcohol consumption is prohibited before and after this vaccination, Boljević says:
“If you drink one or two glasses of brandy or wine, nobody defends you, it cannot affect the immunity that works after the vaccine. Although in our country it is said, however, just in case, three days before and after the vaccine Just in case, so that the normal immunostimulation process takes place. Anyone who receives a vaccine will tell you the same. “
Boljevic claims that half a million people have already received the vaccine.
The result of immunization depends on the response to vaccination.
In Serbia, vaccination of at least 1.5 million people is necessary to provide a herd immunity of up to 60 percent, emphasized epidemiologist Predrag Kon.
“For the complete suppression of this virus, a herd immunity of more than 80 percent is needed.” If we expect a complete suppression of the virus, it is necessary to vaccinate everyone who wants … Up to three million inhabitants, “says Kon .
He says that the result of mass immunization will depend on the response of the population.
