The president of the Athens-Piraeus Hospital Doctors Association, Matina Pagoni, spoke on SKAI and the show “Simera” about the cases in children, but also about the 14-year-old who ended up in Lamia due to opposition while she was suffering from coronavirus.
As he said, apart from the 14-year-old girl, in the last few days some babies who got sick, were intubated, noting that in the last month many young people have been sick. “Everyone in the coronavirus must understand that there are no ages. The disease can cause many complications. It affects both the lungs and the heart and brain. In the majority of cases, pericarditis is overcome, at a rate of 95% -98%. Of course, there will be an incident that can not succeed, even in the simplest diseases. “Children from 5 years old and up should also be vaccinated,” he said characteristically.
He added that in Africa Omicron cases are monitored under the age of five.
Regarding the effectiveness of the vaccine against Omicron, Ms. Pagoni pointed out that there are indications that it is covered by the vaccines. “The important thing is the efficiency rate,” he said, adding that it was reassuring that no deaths had been reported.
Asked why it was decided to give the third dose in 3 months, she said that “when we do all three doses together we strengthen the body so much for Omicron even if we have many cases. “The goal is to strengthen the body so that it has antibodies and attacks mutations and the virus that will not go away if we are not vaccinated,” he commented. Responding to the reactions about the frequency of vaccinations, he stressed that it will not be done every 4 months, but every 9-12 months, as in the flu, depending on when the Vaccination Committee will decide.
Regarding the Christmas period, he pointed out that the guests at New Year’s Eve before visiting a house, it would be good to undergo a rapid test.
Finally, when asked if mRNA vaccines contain dead embryonic cells, he said “mercy! Let’s stop at the vaccine technique. “No one can understand them, only those who deal with vaccines.”
