After visits to RHI offices, he was still immunized
Two doctors from Plovdiv received a reprimand and a report for unfinished work after they refused to vaccinate 12-year-old Vladimir. They had to explain to the health authorities about their action.
Father Borislav Yordanov told about the case.
The first refusal came from the family doctor Dr. Zoya Trampova. She explained that she would not open a six-dose Pfizer bottle just because of them, so as not to waste it.
“I went on August 30 to immunize my son because of the start of the school year. I am convinced of the effectiveness of the vaccines and I think that they will protect it from infection “, Borislav Yordanov explained to” 24 Chasa “.
After the refusal of Dr. Trump, he took the boy to the nearby hospital “St. Panteleimon ”. The doctor, who was on duty there, greeted us with the words: “We do not vaccinate children under 18!”. And he didn’t want to do the immunization, “said the parent. He was surprised.
“The woman is not guilty. Apparently, an explanatory campaign was not conducted with most of the doctors and that is why
some of them are afraid
to vaccinate children,
believing that it is not entirely safe for them “, the father commented.
They went to the third office – DCC-VII, but they also hit a rock there.
“It simply came to our notice then. The doctor on duty, jokingly, turned to me and said, “Come and let me stab you.” I told him it wasn’t for me, because my wife Margarita and I had been immunized a month ago. And I said I wanted a vaccine for my son. A refusal followed and we were sent to the office of RHI-Plovdiv “, added Borislav Yordanov.
There was no problem with the health inspectorate. The doctor on duty there asked them about the boy’s health. After the father filled out the documents for informed consent, 12-year-old Vladimir was finally immunized. Hours after the sting, the boy was slightly sleepy, but then everything disappeared and now he was very well. However, the parent is surprised that this happened to the previous three medics.
“Doctors must be informed in detail about the vaccination of children in order to avoid such situations. One woman shared in the social groups that in a case like ours there was also in Varna “, commented Borislav Yordanov. According to him, the immunization campaign is sluggish and that is why there are few people willing to get vaccinated.
“I hope people realize the importance of getting vaccinated and do it,” the father hopes.
The Health Inspectorate in Plovdiv undertook an investigation into the case.
We had a conversation with the manager of St. Panteleimon Hospital and the doctor who refused to immunize the child. Apparently she did not have the necessary experience and did not engage in immunization. This is a bad incident and should not be repeated. “The child was forced to go around offices until they found someone to give the vaccine,” RHI chief Dr. Siika Dimcheva told 24 Chassa. She added that a report had been drawn up on the case, but no sanctions would be imposed. hoping this will not happen again.
“We have sent letters to all medical institutions in Plovdiv to observe the characteristics of the vaccines against COVID-19 for all persons who wish to be given them, who currently have no contraindications,” commented Dr. Dimcheva. She is adamant that
no problem to be
vaccinated children
According to her, the immunization office at RHI is open every day. “People who are afraid that they may be returned, let them come to us,” Dimcheva recommended.
The head of the jeeps in Plovdiv, Dr. Kostadin Sotirov, who is a pediatrician, is adamant that there is no problem in immunizing children. “I’ve already put two on teenagers under 18. There are so many people willing at this stage, “he said. He saw no reason for the medic to worry. The procedure was the same by which not only children but also babies are immunized.
“As soon as the child is born, we immunize him with a hepatitis vaccine, and the next day against tuberculosis. Then we continue with the others “, pointed out Dr. Sotirov. According to him, once the vaccines against COVID-19 are allowed, there is no problem to give them to children.
