“We are seeing a huge increase in the number of cases and hospitalizations of children in America. We are expected to see a large increase in hospitalizations for children here as well “, the professor of Pediatrics and Epidemiology, Theoklis Zaoutis, pointed out to state broadcaster ERT, calling on parents and adolescents to be vaccinated.
Speaking on the channel, Mr. Zaoutis said that we should be prepared to deal with cases in pediatric hospitals. “It is urgent for all children, aged 12-18, to get vaccinated.”
Waiting for vaccination of younger children
According to the distinguished professor of pediatrics, in the coming months “we are expected to have data from clinical trials with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for children aged 6 to 11 years, regarding the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine in these age groups.
Commenting on the issue of compulsory vaccination, Mr. Zaoutis cited the example of America, where all public schools in New York will make vaccination compulsory, as well as universities, where this measure already applies.
Regarding the vaccination of the hygiene workers, Mr. Zaoutis was absolute. “I will strongly support the obligation to the vaccination of health workers. The issue there is safety and quality of health for people in the hospital. We do not want our people who are in hospitals for another reason to catch coronavirus “.
