Vacancies are seniors, schoolchildren lag behind them
In total, health professionals distributed 1,526,570 benefits to people resident in the capital. According to IHIS statistics, the number of those aiming for the third injection is growing, helped by the shortening of the gap between the 2nd and 3rd dose from eight to six months. Jiří also belongs to them. He received his third dose on Sunday at the Central Military Hospital. “I was happy to go, if I ever have to get covid, I believe that after vaccination I can handle it with a slight course,” he told the Prague Daily of the inhabitants of Prague 2.
For example, only from Monday to Wednesday of this week, 3970 women and men who have permanent residence in Prague came for the third dose. A week earlier, 4874, including the aforementioned Jiří.
The vast majority of people with a Prague address on their ID card were vaccinated in their city (93%), 55,000 (3.6%) went for injection to the Central Bohemian Region, and even over 5,000 Praguers were vaccinated in the Moravian-Silesian Region. .
Mobile vaccination teams
The most vaccinated age consumption is people from 65 years of age. In this group today, at least the second dose is vaccinated by over eighty percent of people. The capital is also trying to help quick vaccinations in this age group. Together with the city polyclinic and the Red Cross, it sends mobile vaccination teams to homes for the elderly. The city was already finding out about the third dose.
“A total of 784 clients and 907 employees from 60 facilities signed up for the vaccination by the mobile team. GPs vaccinate 2,545 inhabitants and 1,446 employees out of a total of 32 homes for the elderly. And 396 clients and 400 employees from 27 facilities should arrive at the nearby vaccination centers, “said Councilor Milena Johnová (Prague herself).
On the contrary, children under 16 years of age have not yet been vaccinated, when at least the first dose was received by less than 10%, according to the Ministry of Health. Between the ages of 16 and 29, half of the population received the first dose. Students were also given the opportunity to monitor the mobile vaccination team from the municipality. But the interest is minimal. “We did not use the offer, pupils, especially the elderly, are vaccinated themselves,” Jiří Benda, director of the Nad Alejí Grammar School in Prague 6, told the Prague daily.
Also in other schools addressed by Pražský deník, those interested are counted more in the unit. For example, at the Czechoslovak Business Academy in Prague 2, five students want to use a mobile team. According to the latest reports, the vaccine cars ordered by the municipality were supposed to go to schools this week.
