Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology at the Hacettepe University School of Medicine. Dr. Murat Akova conducted important assessments on the measures taken against the coronavirus epidemic and the ongoing vaccination studies.
Both of Chinese origin, both of German origin Covidien-19 of the coordinated voluntary practice of Akova in Turkey, China’s vaccine so far in 1200 health workers other than three thousand volunteers, the German vaccine that of the implementation of 79 volunteers and stated that both vaccines were also not seen a serious side effect.
Noting that phase 3 studies of the Chinese vaccine are still ongoing in 25 centers, Prof. Dr. Akova stated that so far no serious side effects have been found in the vaccines and their effectiveness is still unknown. Prof. Dr. Akova said: “The second dose of the vaccine of 500 volunteers has been completed. It will be 14 days after the second dose. After that, we will see if they got sick or not. In this interim analysis, we will determine who received the vaccine, who took the placebo and a separate committee. Based on this mid-term evaluation, ‘this vaccine is effective, it is not’ the decision will be made, “he said.
“THE VACCINE IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE”
Covidien recalls the 19 Chinese origin vaccine in an amount expected to arrive in Turkey on December 11 by Prof. Akova said: “The vaccine will not be started as soon as it arrives. It is necessary to spend a period of 2 weeks to verify and evaluate the vaccines. If the vaccines arrive by the end of this week, if the Ministry of Health approves it, I think it will begin to be applied in early January. Origin from China Covid-19. “The vaccine can be stored in refrigerators normal. If it is stored at 2 to 8 degrees, it does not lose any of its activity. Therefore, it will be preserved in that environment. The vaccine cannot be enough for everyone. First the health personnel, then the other risk groups will be vaccinated according to the amount of vaccine available. “
“THE PANDEMIC WILL BE ELIMINATED WITH A VACCINE”
Prof. Stating that it is normal to have doubts about vaccines, Akova said: “If there is not a complete shutdown, we will probably face a much more severe pandemic in the next 2-3 months. The pandemic will be eliminated with the vaccine alone. Vaccines they are also recently prepared in such a short urea. ” Because there are vaccines, it is natural to hesitate and be afraid. These vaccines have been shown and their side effects have not been seen to be serious, at least for as long as they were tested. data showing that vaccines are safe and effective. We have to make vaccines based on that data; There is no other way out, “he said.
“I WILL HAVE WHICH VACCINE AVAILABLE”
Prof. Dr. Akova, currently in Turkey in the short term, highlighting that a case like the arrival of the German vaccine, “I think that at this moment ‘what vaccines do’, ‘this vaccine does’ scientific work is a vaccine if It is a safe and effective vaccine as shown, which make you think a lot, I have to have this vaccine. I will be from whatever vaccine is available. Also, I had the disease before, but my antibody did not show up, I had no symptoms. Currently, it is recommends vaccination for 2 months in healthcare personnel in the US and 3 months in general society, even if they had the disease before. If the vaccine comes, I will vaccinate myself. The scientific data we have now provides Sufficient evidence of the applicability of these vaccines. Serious side effects can usually come in the form of early and early side effects with these vaccines. Current data indicate that there is no risk. When deciding this, you should think about this; there is a a seriously life-threatening pandemic. there is no way of the moment. So if you do a profit and loss calculation and prefer ‘disease’ or ‘vaccine’, I will vote for vaccination. “
“NO SIDE EFFECTS”
Prof. Noting that it is not possible to make a comparison between the Chinese vaccine and the German vaccine, Dr. Akova said: “To make such a comparison, we need to use both vaccines in the same study. For this reason, we do not have a direct comparison. Pfizer / BioNTech, which we call the German vaccine. We vaccinated 79 volunteers regarding the vaccine vaccine. We also carried out their last vaccination. No side effects related to them were found. The efficacy analysis is done collectively with the participation of other centers, With the participation of other centers. It has a protection of about 95 percent. These are short-term results. Phase for the Chinese vaccine. “If the data is released next week, we will know how protective it is,” he said.
