In Prague's hospital, passers -by also vaccinated so that they did not have to throw away the doses<

V pražské nemocnici očkovali i kolemjdoucí, aby nemuseli vyhazovat dávky

The young woman from Prague, who was inoculated against Covid-19 in Prague on Sunday, January 10, came to the right, although it is not a risky group or works in the hospital.

“A friend of mine called me, who happened to be around the vaccination center.It seemed incredible to me, but I thought I wouldn't give anything for the exam, ”the woman told Pravo on condition of anonymity.In the hospital, indeed, she got the first dose of Pfizer vaccine.

“I stood the queue and showed with the insured card.I understood that the vaccine had to be consumed at some time after thawing.I think they saved a lot of vaccines from ejection, ”she said.

The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at -70 degrees, but after thawing it can be in a regular fridge for five days, at room temperature it lasts about five hours.

After the case at the State Health Institute, where it turned out that officials and their relatives were also given the vaccine, its director Pavel Březovský resigned.Minister of Health Jan Blatný and Prime Minister Andrej Babiš sharply condemned the vaccination of people who are not in the main priority group.

Not to throw away

VFN spokeswoman Marie Heřmánková told Pravo that she did not know that hospitals would vaccinate people, so to speak, "from the street".However, she stated that the hospital has not yet had any central register of vaccinated.“Until then, we are preparing lists of vaccinations and follow the recommendations and instructions of the Ministry of Health.In the first place, of course, the first -line workers come first, ”said Heřmánková.

“We also cooperate with Prague 2, which delivers lists of its endangered groups.Also with rescue units, whose members we are able to vaccinate.In this way, we vaccinated Prague rescuers or staff of the Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion in Prague, ”added Heřmánková.

According to her, the hospital also conducts a list of substitutes.“It can be supplemented by our employees, even if they have someone in their surroundings in a risk group.It may happen that someone ordered for vaccination and registered in the list for any reason cannot be in the deadline.Or it will come, but it turns out that it cannot be vaccinated, has a temperature or other health complication, ”the spokeswoman said.

She stressed that the hospital was trying to ensure that neither dose of the vaccine came to nothing."We have managed to calculate all the benefits in the General Teaching Hospital, no one has to throw away," she added.

According to iROZHLAS.cz, people vaccinated in addition to waiting lists and at the University Hospital Brno.They were mostly older relatives of health professionals."It would be a pity if something was thrown away," said Petr Husa, head of the infectious clinic.

Budget: Substitute only seniors and doctors

Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for ANO) said on Thursday that hospitals have and may have lists of substitutes, but it must not be people who would not meet these criteria.According to him, substitutes must only be from people who have preferential claims as health professionals or seniors over 80 years.

According to Jitka spokesperson, medical professionals have vaccinated general practitioners and pediatricians."When we had most of our health workers with the first dose, we offered the possibility of vaccination to health professionals who do not work at the Central Military Hospital," Zinke said.
