Immunization

Dr. Asparouh Iliev, head of the neuroinfection laboratory in Bern, Switzerland, described the low percentage of vaccinations against coronavirus in this country as a major problem.

"With a comparable number of new infections in Switzerland there are 1-2 deaths a day, in Bulgaria in recent days there have been an average of 30 deaths a day," Dr. Iliev said in an interview for Nova TV.

"In the coming days, almost the entire country will enter the orange zone, and restrictive measures may be needed next week." This was said by the Minister of Health Dr. Stoycho Katsarov to BTV.

He explained that the number of people in need of intensive care had risen from 100 to 160 in just one day, and said the intensity of the pandemic was increasing.

Rich countries to stop revaccination - this is what the World Health Organization demanded. Several Western countries have announced that in less than a month they will start giving a third dose of coronavirus vaccines.

As of August 1, the programming platform for immunisation against COVID-19 will allow young people aged between 12 and 17 to register for vaccination with the serum produced by Moderna - Spikevax.

"The fourth wave of COVID-19 is already in our country. We have a steady increase in cases. The significant increase will come before autumn."
This was stated by the epidemiologist Petar Markov in tv interview.

"Vaccination is the cheapest and most effective way to prevent infection," he added.

"It is obvious that the fourth wave of coronavirus will be very strong if we do not increase the percentage of vaccination, and that is why the state is preparing measures to stimulate vaccination. The state will present all the details in the coming days", he told Kurir daily.

According to him, there are enough vaccines, and citizens can choose. Loncar said that such a request would not make sense if the state did not provide enough vaccines for all citizens, and pointed out that citizens do not think about the costs of treatment because they know that the state pays for it.

Three people died.
There are four patients on the respirator, and 9.383 samples were tested in the last 24 hours.
A total of 292 people were hospitalized, it was published on the official website of the Ministry of Health of Serbia. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, a total of 717.812 cases of coronavirus have been registered, among 4.514.773 tested samples.

Epitemiologist Branislav Tiodorovi says for RTS that, although this strain has a somewhat milder clinical picture, it is spreading quickly, and summer should be used to vaccinate as many citizens as possible.
