High-capacity centers are slowly coming to an end, and no one knows how long hospitals will keep their vaccination centers open.
“I do not expect the hospitals to close all of a sudden, because it will not be beneficial for them either. They will certainly re-vaccinate their own employees, so where would they send them. healthcare Martina Koziar Vašáková.
But in the spring, up to three million people could come for the third dose, who received the second in June and July. “We will see what interest there will be. If people who are already vaccinated are really interested in being revaccinated, it will be difficult for general practitioners to cope with it. I think it will usually be in hospitals again,” said Milan Kubek, president of the Medical Chamber. .
At present, over 5.7 million people are vaccinated. But not everyone will be interested. “I do not think that the five million people would like to be vaccinated with the third dose,” said Petr Šonka, chairman of the Association of General Practitioners.
Also, the state does not anticipate a wave of interest in the third vaccination. If the regions should deal with it again, they are said to be ready. “For the South Bohemian Region and for all the governors, I can say that we will be able to start, even though we are already ending with large vaccination centers. But above all, I would like to say that everyone uses their general practitioners. medical staff in hospitals in vaccination centers can handle it, “said the governor of the South Bohemian Region and the chairman of the Association of Regions, Martin Kuba (ODS).
Distribution can also be a problem
In previous months, there was a problem in the distribution of vaccines, also due to refrigerators. Vaccines must be used within hours after thawing. According to the Ministry of Health, general practitioners will receive smaller packages of vaccines in surgeries.
“It will also be possible for a general practitioner to plan one vaccination day or one afternoon and invite a sufficient number of his clients,” added Vašáková.
