Doctors suggest child vaculation, MS soon by decision

Deputy Health Minister Arsim Berisha has told Kosovo priss that the application of anti vaccine already in Kosovo CO VID is being done only in children aged 12, who have compromised diseases or immunity.

While adding that the next days Vaccination Committee will make a decision on mass vaculation of these ages.

The decision of the communication Committee has been from 12 to 16 years of age to vaccinate from the age of 16 all have been able to vaccinate and I still urge them to exploit the right because it's the only weapon for fighting COVID-19. Even now there is the possibility of vaccine from the age of 12, but the scientific data given by the DSD, the U.S.A., the EU that speaks of mass inoculation of this age is under consideration by the Vaccination Committee. In the coming days, there will be consideration and decision on the part of the” Committee, he stressed.

And family medicine specialist Aurora Dollenberg says Kosovo has been delayed for vaccinating school age, especially now when there is even a learning process.

Hence, she views it as highly necessary for even Kosovo children from 12 years of age onward to be isolated.

Of course, even children of Kosovo's age despite the stable situation Kosovo is currently showing should be vaccinated that the school year is still long and the probability that new infections through the Delta variant and other versions of COVID-19 will spread dramatically. Even from school to school is very high, so even though we are still a little late as a country for vaccinating children, you are still in time for Kosovo to begin massively inoculation with Pfizer children in children over 12 years of age”, she said.

Dollenberg, who is also president of the Federation of Albanian Doctors in Europe for Kosova Preress, says children aged 12 should be vaccinated with Pfizer and that this vaccine has not shown negative effects to these ages yet.

Pfizer's bioNtech has proven to millions of children who have been vaccinated with this vaccine in this worldwide vaccine that it is tolerant and children have shown no side effects. So children over the age of 12 over 6 months have received the green light to be vaccinated with this vaccine, which seems to be very safe and efficient that it raises its protective bodies in children by protecting children's lives even from deadly complications of new variants that we can say as doctors that even Kosovo should be able to give BioNtech in school age, Dollenberg said.

Even pediatricist Ramush Bekiqi joins the call for Kosovo to start vaccinating children.

He says vaccination doses should be given to the body weight and child age.

I think that even this category of population should be vaccinated, Kosovo should follow in the trends of states that have begun the vaccine... I think this is a healthy new population and at least affected by health-related diseases even though not Kosovo follows the path of the US, developed Western states that have vaccines because vaccine has shown the best and most successful tool in eliminating pandemic. We have to be careful as we do doctors with doctors for kids for doses is also the child's vaccine to adapt to age group and weight, it's very important to talk about body weight right now. Therefore, Pfizer adapting is initially the only vaccine licensed for vaccinating the child population, and we also have to follow the streets and doses of conform vaccination and child age”, he stressed.

Bayqi says anti-vaccination CO VID has no side effects except to increase child immunity against pandemic.

I don't believe that the vaccine against the COVID-19 virus will have more side effects than we've had on adults, but I think the positives are too large... I don't think that I'm going to increase immunity and I think this is the best way to manage the entire pandemic in Kosovo we've seen since COVID-19 are not the children eliminated”, he said.

Pfizer vaccines are already authorized for anyone who is 12 years old. /kp/
