Many people who go to the vaccine and know that they need to be given the vaccine produced by Pfizer / BioNTech are misled by the fact that the vial says “Comirnaty”. CNCAV representatives reassure them that one is the company, and the other the name of the vaccine.
“Ma’am, I don’t want Comirnaty. I want Pfizer. That’s how I programmed myself on the platform, at Pfizer.
– It’s okay, you’ll get Pfizer.
– But Comirnaty says on the bottle! ”, Is a dialogue often found in vaccination centers where the Pfizer vaccine is administered, and on Saturday it was presented by the representatives of the National Vaccination Coordination Campaign (CNCAV), on the Facebook page.
CNCAV explains where the confusion between Pfizer, BioNTech and Comirnaty comes from.
“From the packaging of the dose. The first doses came with the PfizerBioNTech label, then some doses came with a label that says only BioNTech, and now the doses are Comirnaty labels. (…) People, after being vaccinated with the first dose, told the experience lived to friends, relatives and neighbors. When it was their turn, everyone expected to see the Pfizer label. Not infrequently, the vaccination staff in the centers have to show people the three labels to prove that the vaccine administered is the one for which they have registered. PfizerBioNTech is the manufacturer of the vaccine against COVID-19, and Comirnaty is the name of the vaccine “, show those from CNCAV on the Facebook page.
Since the beginning of the vaccination campaign, 2,065,575 people have been immunized in Romania, of which 1,138,301 people have received both doses of vaccine.
