According to the director general of the Budapest Army Hospital, there are still 19 days until Christmas, which is enough for the third vaccine just received to have its full effect. The key to a Merry Christmas is that if people vaccinate themselves, we don’t have to be afraid to be with family members, ”said the expert, who encouraged everyone to vaccinate themselves.
He added: it is crucial that vaccination for 5-11 year olds starts on December 13th. He stressed that as a parent, it is clear to her that she is vaccinating her children.
The director-general drew attention to the fact that the coronavirus is “very insidious” and there are many complications in children that accompany patients for a lifetime, unable to recover perfectly from them. He cited cardiological problems such as arrhythmias as an example.
Vaccination of children is also very important because
communities of children can be considered foci of infection and children from the communities “take home” the infection.
He noted that it would be good to be able to quell the epidemic with the high vaccination of children’s communities.
He also said that children who have been shown to have had the infection should wait at least three months before being vaccinated.
In connection with the second week of vaccinations that ended on Sunday, he said they had given more than 23,000 vaccinations at their institution in the past two weeks, ten per cent of which were first vaccinations. He noted that in the second week, as expected, fewer vaccinated themselves.
He said it was important to get the vaccine more easily without pre-registration, and that’s why many people take it, so he thinks it’s important that the vaccination action week has been extended.
The number of people being ventilated is not rising, and “now, if there is no deterioration, it can be considered an improvement.”
The number of patients is not declining, a “basic number of patients” is being carried forward, however, the epidemic is expected to peak before Christmas and they are getting closer every day to avoid the maximum burden on health care, he explained.
The director general of the Army Hospital also said that in the first week after the infection, when the drugs work, patients have little symptom, but when the virus “turns on” and destroys the organs, the antiviral drugs do not work. Therefore, he recommended that patients start taking the drug at the time of diagnosis of coronavirus infection.
