In Budapest, elderly people will be tested for antibodies due to concerns that one of the drugs is not eliciting a proper immune response.
In Budapest, Hungary, elderly people are offered free testing for antibodies to coronavirus – so they want to check if a certain vaccine is provided with adequate protection. About it informs AP on Friday July 9th.
The offer for 20,000 free tests available to residents of Budapest over 60 years old came after many fully vaccinated people said that tests from private laboratories showed they did not have antibodies to protect against COVID-19.
Deputy Mayor of Budapest Ambrus Kiss said the reports were mainly about the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, which prompted the local authorities to think about the “real problem.” The government should now consider giving a third dose to those who have an inadequate immune response, the official said.
“We think that the more tests we do, the greater the social pressure on the third dose,” Kiss summed up.
Recall that earlier Hungary began to vaccinate residents of Transcarpathia… Transcarpathians are planned to be vaccinated with a vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. And vaccination will take place at certain border crossing points and vaccination points of border hospitals.
It was also reported that Hungary will vaccinate foreigners for free… Vaccines cannot be chosen, citizens will have the right to be vaccinated with the drug that will be offered.
