The university professor Dr. Ioan Gherghina, also nicknamed the “Angel of Children” spoke about the need to immunize children against Covid-19. He argues that the eradication of a pandemic of such a size as the one we are in can only be done with the help of vaccination. The famous doctor claims that the immunization of adults will be ineffective, if the parents do not agree with the vaccination of the children.
What about the childhood vaccine promised by Pfizer
One day later, the coordinator of the vaccination campaign, Valeriu Gheorghiță, announced that the vaccine produced by Pfizer is awaiting authorization from the US Medicines Agency, and in a month, the European Medicines Agency will also issue this authorization, at which time which children aged 12-15 in Europe will be able to be immunized.
“We expect that in the next few days, after the FDA (US Medicines Agency, ed.) Will grant this authorization and most likely, in the next month, the European Medicines Agency will issue this authorization, so we have a perspective as clear as possible that from this summer we can vaccinate people in the age group 12-15 years, who obviously want to be vaccinated with the consent of their parents “, said Valeriu Gheorghiță.
Romania’s representative to the WHO, Alexandru Rafila, also spoke about this situation, offering a period of 2-3 months, until the vaccine could reach Romania.
“It is possible to start (immunization of children – no.) When we have a resolution, an approval from the EMA for children aged 12 to 16 years. I think the earliest could start in July-August.
The only problem is that the students will be on vacation and their vaccination will practically depend on what the parents consider because we are talking about their decision, it will be the parent’s, not the child’s “, he explained Rafila, at Reality PLUS.
What are the three main reasons why vaccination is recommended among children
Doctor Ioan Gherghina supports without any hesitation the vaccination against children by Covid-19, considering that this will lead to the disappearance of the pandemic. Even if many parents refuse to accept their children’s vaccination, the teacher considers them to be a “source of infection” for vulnerable groups, including grandparents and people they come in contact with.
He also gave for example the elimination of epidemics such as measles, smallpox and polio, which was possible only through vaccination.
“First of all, children can be a source of infection, and especially the intrafamily contagion: children-parents, children-grandparents, especially grandparents. Secondly, it is a natural infection, which is why we need to vaccinate children.
How can we control the epidemic, when 3 million students need to be vaccinated? The elimination of an epidemic such as measles, polio, smallpox is solved only by vaccination.
I have the vaccine in 70% of adults, but there was still a large mass of children and adolescents who can still be a source of infection “, the doctor explained.
A third reason for vaccinating children is the severe forms of the disease that many children develop.
“Indeed, children do not get seriously ill, but they do get sick. Once carriers, they also make those around them sick. There are also very serious forms: severe multisystemic inflammatory syndrome, which takes many forms, Kawasaki disease, toxic shock, which mainly affects the heart, “said the doctor, according to the quoted source.
