From the autumn “Modern” and “Pfizer” will protect against both coronavirus and influenza
Only two vaccines delivered for the weekend in our country were reported by the national information portal against the background of the new growth of coronary infections in many European countries.
Nearly every 10th of the samples made in Bulgaria is positive, according to the latest data. The active cases are about 60 thousand, 92 of them are from the last day.
The few tests done
are the reason for the high share of positive – 9% per day, said virologist Lubomira Glomb. About 3,000 tests are performed daily, according to a report on the website of the Ministry of Health.
What is more worrying for Assoc. Prof. Glomb is that the percentage of vaccinated Bulgarians cannot exceed 30. “According to this indicator, we are at a shamefully low level. “Since we have been vaccinated, we have learned that the immunity they elicit is not long-lasting, but they prevent severe course, hospitalization, intensive care and death,” she told bTV.
10,404 doses have been set for one month from May 20 to June 20 in Bulgaria, according to data from the Ministry of Health. Those wishing to be immunized are declining every month. Now between 300 and 500 doses are given, unlike last month, when the vaccines were 600-700 per day.
The downward trend in immunization began in late January, but between 1,100 and 1,500 people still received a needle a day in March. The big ebb came after the announced intentions and the subsequent gradual fall of all measures. However, there were up to 90 vaccines nationwide over the weekend. Beatings only 2 this Sunday are an anti-record.
From the autumn there will be a bivalent vaccine against COVID-19 and influenza, which will be RNA – people will be facilitated with just one application, said Assoc. Prof. Glomb. Moderna and Pfizer are in the final stages of vaccine development.
256 patients with COVID are treated in hospital, 28 of them are in intensive care units. A positive trend is that the number of deaths is declining. A day without a death was reported on Monday, and only one victim the day before. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 37,224 Bulgarians have died after being infected with COVID-19.
The parties should not be complacent because
the risk of dangerous new options
has not disappeared, however, warned the Secretary General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adanom Gebrejesus.
Although the number of detected infections and deaths has dropped by 90%, peaks in January and restrictions in many countries have been lifted, the notion that the pandemic is over is wrong, Gebreyesus told a meeting of G20 health ministers. in Indonesia. The WHO is deeply concerned about the lack of testing and sequencing, which hinders the development of the virus, its chief said. The incidence has risen for the first time since the end of May, according to calculations by the TASS news agency.
In many European countries, the number of patients has risen sharply.
In France, infected for a day
exceed 50 thousand, which has not happened since the end of April. In Germany, more than 80,000 cases are registered daily. In Italy, too, the incidence has doubled in recent days, with a slight increase in England, Belgium, Austria and other countries.
Today, the G20 health and finance ministers will discuss the creation of a financial intermediation fund – the accumulation of public and private resources to ensure the prevention and response to future pandemics.
