On August 8, the head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration got acquainted with the work of the centers of mass vaccination of the population in the regions of the region and in the city of Kharkiv.
“Now, when there is a serious threat of a new wave of COVID-19 in Ukraine, it is necessary to cover the maximum number of citizens with vaccination as soon as possible.. After all, we understand that only vaccination and collective immunity can guarantee us safety and prevent a repetition of the scenario of previous waves - overcrowded hospitals, strict quarantine, border closures, ”said Aina Timchuk.
She emphasized that the state is doing everything today to conduct an effective vaccination campaign.. Regions have sufficient quantities of all vaccines registered in Ukraine, which are recognized throughout the world.
" Mobile teams work on the road: they instill collectives at enterprises so that people do not need to go anywhere, waste time in queues. We do everything to make the process as comfortable as possible for people. All residents of the region can choose where it is more convenient for them to get vaccinated, at what time and with what vaccine, - emphasized the head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration. - In recent days, we have visited all mass vaccination centers in the region. We see that people are actively going to the centers. There are comfortable conditions for them, there is an opportunity to get vaccinated both by appointment and through a live queue.. If any shortcomings were found during the inspection of the centers, they will be worked out "
One of the mass vaccination centers, which was visited by the chairman of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, is a center in Pesochin. 75-100 people are vaccinated here every day, said Olesya Lapta, a general practitioner - family medicine of the Primary Health Care Center No. 2 of the Kharkiv region..
“We work every day, from 9 to 18. We are currently vaccinating with two vaccines - Moderna and Comirnaty, manufactured by Pfizer. Each person chooses the vaccine for himself. Every day we carry out a huge work with the population - we tell you how important it is to vaccinate yourself, your loved ones. Therefore, many go to get vaccinated.. Our work is very conveniently organized: there are several offices, a waiting room. The offices are separated from each other, we keep the distance, mask mode "
Inna Sopilnik, a resident of Pesochin, highly appreciates the idea of \u200b\u200bopening vaccination centers not only on the basis of medical institutions.
“It is always more convenient to undergo such procedures near your home. Therefore, this is a very good initiative - to open such points in the city, in villages, closer to people, to the place of residence.. Thanks to this, the procedure does not take much time.. You came at any time, even on a weekend, received a vaccination or answers to all your questions - and you can go about your business further, ”says Inna.
The same opinion is shared by the Kharkiv resident Artem, who has already received the second vaccination at the mass vaccination center at the address: Kharkiv, st.. Trinkler, 6. Aina Timchuk also visited this center on August 8.
“Firstly, this is a convenient place in the center of Kharkov, and secondly, it is very important that the vaccination center is open on weekends.. I work on weekdays, so it is not convenient to go to the family doctor. And on weekends I can manage my time, ”says Artem.
In total, almost 410 thousand vaccinations against COVID-19 have already been made in the region.. Over the past day, more than 7.5 thousand vaccinations were made - this is one of the best indicators in the country.
