Prof. Dr. Tevfik Özlü spoke with DHA about the vaccines developed against the coronavirus. Stating that it is “reasonable” to have doubts about the vaccine, Prof. Dr. Özlü said that people will feel comfortable after vaccines are started. Özlü said: “I am talking about the vaccine that we will buy, it will comfort us. We as healthcare professionals will get vaccinated first. When the people around us see this, they will be satisfied. Of course, there is a possibility of harm from the vaccine. There is this in all vaccines. Currently, licensed vaccines that have been used for years. Sometimes there can even be unexpected, unforeseen problems, but these have a very low probability of one in a million or one in ten million. No it is reasonable to be afraid of such a low possibility and ignore the danger of Covid-19, “he said.

Highlighting that the vaccines developed against the coronavirus do not have a serious and common side effect. Dr. Özlü said the following:
“Currently 250 people die every day from this disease in Turkey. When not vaccinated, these deaths will continue. Ignoring this, not preventing it, not using it even if you have power, and not stopping these deaths is a plague. The risk of getting vaccinated is very low, but the danger of not getting vaccinated is much higher. It is not safe not to get vaccinated. I think vaccines are safe. It is not about the vaccine that we will receive, but that tens of thousands of people, including other vaccines, received Covid-19 vaccines and none of them had serious side effects. If such a large number of people had a common and serious side effect, it would have happened. If you ask if you can come out after that, you may, but this will be an effect Very rare secondary. You have to take a risk. If you can’t afford it, you can’t do anything in life. You can’t get on the plane because there is a chance that the plane will crash. You can’t get in the car because there is a chance that having an accident on the road. You can’t take aspirin because when you take it, you can bleed and die. There is no risk-free job in life. We have to take some risks. Since the risks associated with the vaccine are very low, they are risks that can be taken, but now the risk of getting sick and dying is much higher. “
