The debate over the AstraZeneca vaccine and its side effects has aroused panic and dilemma among a good part of the citizens. Due to the fact that many countries have temporarily suspended it for days, questions have been raised about its safety. Although a good number of teachers in the country have been vaccinated with the first dose of this vaccine, there are those who refuse to do so. What will happen ?!
Mira Rakacolli, head of the Committee of Experts said that the decision has been made to continue the process with AstraZeneca doses in our country, at a time when the WHO and EMA do not declare the opposite.
Does it cause blood clots as it is said?
"What causes or does not cause thrombosis is completely unexpressed, it is said that such thrombotic events were not an event that occurred during the administration of the vaccine, in the assessments made, neither the EMA nor the WHO has expressed. The only what they say is that the cases being seen one after the other are 37 thrombotic cases, in millions of doses.Each country has its own attitude, both those who continue it as those who do not.
But there does not appear to be a direct link so far according to estimates. We must emphasize that the vaccine does not protect you from other diseases, that you can have that disease without getting the vaccine. We have not had thrombotic cases in Albania. "- said Rakacolli, invited last night to" Open ".
Other epidemiologists, meanwhile, have called the vaccine suspension a "waste of time" and a "political issue". Renowned doctor Tritan Kalo told Abc News that AstraZeneca is just as effective and safe as Pfizer-BioNtech.
"Firstly it is four times cheaper than Pfizer-Biontech. Secondly it is stored like other vaccines and not at -80 degrees like Pfizer-Biontech, thirdly it is almost as effective as the Pfizer-Biontec vaccine. It is politics, beyond reason of human needs. "
On the other hand, epidemiologist Alban Ylli, part of the Committee of Experts, describes the discussion as a "waste of time".
