«The action will take place from 1 to 3 May «Get vaccinated in picnic» at mobile points for universal vaccination. All interested parties with active e-referral can get vaccinated without prior appointment»- announced the government. In each of the 16 voivodships, a mobile point (a special container or tent) will be created where vaccinations will be carried out.
«You can come to the vaccination on the go. All you have to do is report to a mobile universal vaccination center and wait for your turn. With an e-referral, you don’t need to register anywhere. Only authorized and trained persons will be vaccinated. Before vaccination, the patient will pass a standard qualification »- we read on gov.pl. The organization of vaccinations, of course, will be in accordance with the sanitary and epidemiological procedures.
Are you not sure if you can come to the pickup point during the picnic without making an appointment? All 30-year-olds or older who completed the form in the first quarter of this year have an active e-referral. The remaining persons have such a referral issued in accordance with the vaccination schedule.

How many vaccines will be waiting for people who will benefit from vaccinations without registration during the picnic? According to the information we received from the Ministry of Health, 16 thousand zlotys will be sent to each of the 2,5 provinces. doses. The Ministry also reminds that voivodes are responsible for the organization of mobile vaccination points. Opening hours of vaccination centers can be checked on the websites of Voivodship Offices.
Why will mobile points vaccinate only with Johnson & Johnson?
Only the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson will be administered during the “Get in vaccinations” campaign. This information caused some suspicions that Poles did not want to vaccinate with the preparation, therefore the government was “promoting”. These judgments are possibly related to vaccine-related very rare cases of unusual blood clots. Let us recall, however, that the European Medicines Agency assessed that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is safe. It was emphasized that the likelihood of side effects was very small and that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Experts point out that all vaccines are safe and all vaccines are good. So why was the COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen preparation (the official name of the vaccine) chosen? There may be several reasons for this. The first and most important thing is that the vaccine is single dose – it is a great convenience, convenience and time saving. In this case, after all, only one visit to the vaccination point is enough instead of two, several weeks apart.
This is confirmed by the Ministry of Health. »Johnson & Johnson vaccine was selected for the vaccination campaign because it is a single-dose vaccine» – explained the ministry, answering our question.
Another issue is related to this – holidays are approaching. There are already countries that have waived the requirement for a negative test result on entry for fully vaccinated people. These include Greece, Croatia and Slovenia. Malta has announced a similar step.
Recall that in the case of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the beginning of protection begins on the 14th day after taking the preparation, and the minimum waiting time for the acquisition of full immunity is 28 days.
The first Polish athletes adopted the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. “It’s much more convenient”
The Olympics are also approaching (expected to start on July 23), so the athletes have also started vaccinating. On April 26, the first group was vaccinated with the COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen vaccine, among them some of the national team volleyball players, members of the training staffs of national teams in this discipline, and track cyclists.
Their adoption of the single-dose vaccine was commented on by Dr. Hubert Krysztofiak, head of the medical mission to the Tokyo Olympics and chairman of the Medical Committee of the Polish Olympic Committee. – It is technically much more convenient for athletes. They travel a lot and are away from home for a very long time. This definitely facilitates this process logistically.
