December 27, 2020 Manuel Prieto, user of the Hermanitas de los Ancianos Desamparados de Córdoba residence, became the first person to receive the covid vaccine. Nine months later this same resident, who is now 78 years old, benefited from the third dose (which already have more than 200,000 people from Cordoba). Manuel is an active person, he collaborates by taking care of the residence hall and feels loved by his colleagues at the center and by those in charge. In addition to relying on the vaccine to fight this pandemic, Manuel advises the Cordoba population, before this sixth wave that is getting so complicated that they continue to be prudent and using the mask (that he has taken it off just to appear in the photo of the report), in addition to complying with other measures, to see if this nightmare comes to an end as soon as possible.
Manuel was vaccinated by Raúl Pérez, a nurse who was working in the Córdoba-Guadalquivir district at the time, and with him the nurses Conchi Moyano and Luisa Anguita were also vaccinating at that residence. Conchi and Luisa were also among the first health workers to receive the first vaccine against covid in Córdoba. Both they hopefully remember the day in which they began to vaccinate and when they were finally vaccinated, because it is a fundamental tool to combat a pandemic, which is affecting the population so much, including many health professionals. Luisa and Conchi, what they have not been infected in all this timeThey do not know how many vaccines or PCR they have made in these almost two years of crisis, only that there are many, and they hope that with the hard work of so many people and science at some point the pandemic will end. In addition, they ask the population to continue being prudent, complying with preventive measures, and to be vaccinated.
The specialist in Preventive Medicine and Public Health of the Reina Sofía Hospital José Luis Barranco replies to those who still doubt the benefits of being vaccinated against the covid that “If we had not been vaccinated there would have been many more admissions and deaths”. He adds that more vaccination coverage is needed in less developed countries to stop the transmission of covid on a global scale. In addition, it highlights that, among the people who are now admitted with covid, a majority group is not vaccinated; Others do not have the two doses, but there are also patients who are perfectly vaccinated but suffer from other risky pathologies, which are decompensated by covid, as can occur with other viruses such as the flu. In addition, a small number of hospitalized in covid units are people who were admitted for another cause and were detected to have the virus when they arrived at the hospital.
