How are sanitary rules observed when vaccinating against coronavirus? What is the cold chain? The head of Rospotrebnadzor Elena Babura visited city polyclinics, where vaccination rooms are open.
This freezer is part of the so-called cold chain. Here is the coronavirus vaccine. The drug must be stored strictly at a temperature of minus 18. Otherwise, it will lose its qualities.
SVETLANA KOZEEVA, HEAD OF POLYCLINIC 3:
- The temperature on the sensor is minus 18 degrees, we open it, as soon as they brought it to us from the regional pharmaceutical company, we immediately put it in this freezer.
When the vaccine is taken out of the refrigerator, the time is recorded. You need to start using it in two hours.
NATALIA CHERNOMORETS, MEDICAL NURSE OF THE PROCEDURE ROOM:
- When you take the bottle in hand, you can see that there is ice here. Here's a working vaccine that's already a liquid that can work.
One bottle allows you to vaccinate five patients. At this stage, it is also important to follow all the rules. The chief sanitary doctor asks in detail how everything is going on.
Patients enter the treatment room only after a doctor's appointment.
KSENIYA GRISHINA, DOCTOR-THERAPIST, POLYCLINIC 3:
- Within three weeks, until the next vaccination, the second, we try not to get sick, not to contact, to follow all the rules.
The Kaliningrad region received 11 thousand doses of the Sputnik V vaccine at the end of January.
Natalya Rashba was not alone for the vaccination - she signed up her friend and son.
NATALIA RASHBA, RESIDENT OF KALININGRAD:
- I trust only Russian science, because we are all from the Soviet Union and are used to the fact that we have strong vaccinations, vaccines are good, I had no doubt about it.
Vaccination is a strictly regulated procedure. There are special sanitary rules. How they are observed and monitored by Rospotrebnadzor. There are also many myths to debunk, such as that vaccination can cause disease.
ELENA BABURA, HEAD OF ROSPOTREBNADZOR DEPARTMENT FOR KALININGRAD REGION:
- This is an antibiological myth, because the vaccine does not contain the virus itself, this particle of this virus does not have such properties that allow the virus to multiply inside the body. It is impossible to get infected from the injection of a vaccine preparation.
According to Elena Babura, the main task now is to make the infection controllable, to create collective immunity. For this, 60% of adults must be vaccinated. Only after that it will be possible to talk about returning to the usual way of life.
