Prague – Long queues are forming today in Prague’s vaccination centers without registration in the Westfield Chodov shopping center and at the main railway station. One of the employees of the vaccination center in Chodov told ČTK before noon that the waiting time for the covid-19 vaccine is at least an hour and a half and the interest is the greatest he has experienced. A security guard at Prague Central Station estimated the waiting time at several hours. The people in both fronts, which were approached by ČTK, all agree that circumstances are necessary for vaccinating against covid, especially the tightening of anti-epidemic measures. According to Smart Quarantine, vaccination queues are not in the Congress Center.
From Monday, the test will often not be enough, but it will require confirmation of covid in the last six months or vaccinations. “I would not voluntarily keep it, but the system simply forced me. If I want to live at least a little normally from Monday, I have no choice,” one of the people waiting in Chodov told ČTK. He came for the first dose of vaccine.
In Chodov, he is vaccinated with a two-dose Pfizer vaccine, those interested can be from the age of 16. The man who accompanied his son to vaccinate took advantage of this. “I already have the third dose of the vaccine, I was vaccinated practically among the first. We were forced to vaccinate my son, for example because of school, but also other things and activities,” he said.
Vaccines in Chodov are administered by nurses from the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM). On your twitter account wrotethat 1,367 people were vaccinated at this vaccination center in one day on Friday. “This is the most since July 12. We have given a total of 92,400 doses of vaccine,” he said. According to the findings of the ČTK correspondent, younger people, who often came for the first dose of the vaccine, predominated in the line in Chodov today.
In the lobby of Central Station, paramedics apply a single-dose Janssen from Johnson & Johnson. The vaccination site is operated by the Bulovka University Hospital. It was the opportunity to get vaccinated with only one disposable vaccine that attracted Mrs. Petra. “The advantage is that I don’t have to deal with the second dose of the vaccine and I will fulfill what the state demands of me,” she told ČTK.
However, the resigned Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch (for YES) pointed out this week that the ministry had requested the opinion of the State Institute for Drug Control on the Janssen single-dose vaccine. Experts are discussing shorter protection after a single-dose vaccine, which was discussed last week mentioned on twitter immunologist Zdeněk Hel. Recommended revaccination after two months. This information was new to Ms. Petra, but did not discourage her from applying Janssen. “Who knows what they will approve again, in addition, a new government will come, which may see it differently,” she said. According to ČTK, a number of foreigners were also waiting for the vaccine at the main railway station.
The smart quarantine on her twitter in the afternoon recommended those who want to be vaccinated in Prague to use the Congress Center. “There are no queues, unlike the main station, for example. On the contrary, they tell us that they have time off,” she said. The Congress Center is receiving both a two-dose vaccine from Pfizer and a single-dose Janssen vaccine.
According to the Ministry of Health, the most confirmed cases of coronavirus in the Czech Republic came during the epidemic on Friday. Laboratories detected 22,936 infected, about 8,700 more than a week ago. Due to the rapidly deteriorating epidemic situation, the covid-19 tests will no longer be recognized as a covid certificate from Monday. When entering restaurants, hotels, service establishments or mass events, people will only have to prove themselves by a complete vaccination or proof of covidid in the last six months. It will continue testing in schools and unvaccinated employees in companies will also be tested on a regular basis.
