As in the mass vaccination centers, Poltava Polytechnic continues to organize an immunization campaign. There is a check-in and manipulation point, working according to the schedule, on the first floor.
“For two months in a row, on certain days, we have a mobile team of physicians from Public utility company “Center of Primary Health Care №2”. We invite everyone who wants to be vaccinated at a convenient time. With the support of the Department of Health of Poltava Regional State Administration, the university is provided with different types of vaccines – depending on the needs, especially needs of those who receive their second dose. American vaccine Moderna was recently added to the list of available vaccines. In July, Poltava region received 60,000 doses for use by mobile teams that vaccinate organized teams. Thanks to the rector’s initiative, our team was one of the first to approach such an important issue as protection against coronavirus and creating safe conditions for the educational process,” – commented Vice-Rector for Research and Teaching and Economic Development Olena Filonych.
More than a hundred Polytechnic staff were vaccinated in June. For each person vaccinated with the first dose of Comirnaty/Pfizer, a second dose from that same batch is reserved. CoronaVac and Moderna vaccines are also available (this batch of vaccines was provided by the US government through the global COVAX fund).
Moderna vaccine is an mRNA vaccine developed by the American pharmaceutical company Moderna. It is included in the list of vaccines for emergency use by the WHO, and is also approved for emergency use in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, the EU and other countries. Moderna vaccine from COVID-19 is administered intramuscularly. For full immunization, it is necessary to receive two doses of the vaccine with an interval of 28 days.
In the Poltava region the first cases of the “Delta” strain coronavirus infection have already been recorded, said the head of the Poltava Regional State Administration Oleh Syniehubov during a visit to vaccination centers in Kremenchuk. According to the chief sanitary doctor Ihor Kuzin, this strain is transmitted 50% faster, leads to more hospitalizations – almost 2.6 times more often than “Alpha” (British strain) and to a greater need for emergency care – about 1.6 times.
We invite all interested members of the scientific, pedagogical and student team!
