“The greatest challenge for Poland in 2021”

– Knowledge, safety and voluntary nature – these are the three most important assumptions that will allow us to successfully carry out the vaccination process – said the Minister of Health at the press conference organized on December 8. At the meeting, Adam Niedzielski and the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Michał Dworczyk, presented a draft national vaccination strategy.

Vaccines will be free and voluntary, as emphasized, and the goal of the National COVID-19 Immunization Program project is to lead to population immunity in 2021. – This is the biggest and key challenge for Poland in 2021 – said the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Michał Dworczyk.

The minister also presented the main goals “resulting from this fundamental”. – First of all, our task is to provide vaccines that will be safe and effective. Secondly, these vaccines must be in sufficient quantity – he pointed out. The entire operation must be carried out in the shortest possible time. As emphasized by the Minister of Health, vaccines must be free and voluntary. Finally, «we need to organize the whole process to be citizen-friendly. That the vaccination points were easily accessible »- said Dworczyk.

Individual QR code like immunity passport?

Benefits are to be provided for people who decide to vaccinate against the coronavirus. At the Tuesday conference, Adam Niedzielski announced that he would be released from quarantine after contact with infected people and after traveling to high-risk countries, as well as not taking into account the applicable limits for meetings and meetings. Many people ask themselves at this point, what will it be like to verify whether a person has been vaccinated or not.

The head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister spoke on this subject. On December 7, in Radio Zet, Michał Dworczyk announced that after the second vaccination against COVID-19 (let us remind you that vaccines are to be two-stage), the person will receive confirmation. He repeated it at the Tuesday press conference, explaining that the patient would receive confirmation either in the PHC in the form of a printout, or after taking the second dose of the vaccine, an individual QR code would be generated.

Can vaccination confirmations be considered a type of “immunity passport”? Recall that several months ago, some governments considered introducing “immunity passports” for those who managed to defeat the coronavirus. They were to be proof that the person is free from the risk of coronavirus infection, which would allow him, for example, to return to work. The World Health Organization then issued a message in which it warned against introducing such a solution. WHO experts recalled that there is no evidence that people who have beaten COVID-19 are immune to reinfection.

In view of the planned vaccination campaigns against COVID-19, the topic of this type of documents returns. UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Sky News that the government has no plans to make the card (a document issued to people who get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2) a passport. – We need to know how to monitor immunity to know, for example, how long it lasts after vaccination. Without it, the immunity passports or their equivalents will only tell us when someone has been vaccinated, not whether they are still protected, notes Clint Witchalls at theconversation.com.

“The state takes responsibility for monitoring the health of vaccinated people”

At the conference on Tuesday, the Minister of Health announced that the state would take responsibility for monitoring the health of vaccinated people. He also emphasized that everyone can be sure that “before any person in Poland is vaccinated, this product is previously tested and tested on tens of thousands of volunteers – people who participate in clinical trials”.

Adam Niedzielski also noted that “safety is not only the process of producing a vaccine or the process of admitting it to the market, but also an issue related to monitoring what is happening with vaccinated people – whether there are any adverse events”. Therefore, a central register of vaccinated people will be created, which will enable these people to function as a healed person.

He stressed that “there will also be a system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions, which functions in Poland and does not require any special modification”. The system works in such a way that “a doctor, seeing any vaccine reaction, is obliged to report it to the State Sanitary Inspection, which transfers this information centrally to the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene”. All information will be collected centrally and will be public. – We want all matters concerning vaccination and its effects to be open from the public point of view – said Minister Niedzielski.
