Fear Dissipates As Big Number Of People Turn Up For Vaccine
A member of the technical committee for the ‘Corona’ vaccine, Professor Khaled Al-Saeed said he expected the number of people registering on the electronic link to receive the (Covid- 19) vaccine will reach about 250,000 during the next ‘few hours’.
In a press statement, Al-Saeed explained the fear for vaccination is normal at first, because “we always fear everything new, but this fear quickly dissipated after the initiative of His Highness the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health, members of the legislative and executive authorities, members of the technical committee and medical personnel to receive the vaccine.” Al-Saeed praised the global efforts to find the vaccine in what he called a short period of time, and pointed out decoding the genetic code of viruses usually takes years, but that it took only about 40 days to decode ‘Corona’ using modern scientific means and the discovery of contemporary technologies.
With regard to questions about the discovery of a vaccine for “Corona” in less than a year and the failure to discover vaccines for some other viruses for long years, such as HIV and AIDS, Al-Saeed said that AIDS is in the immune cells and that makes it difficult to discover a vaccine because it constantly attacks the immune system. It is difficult to find a suitable vaccine for this disease, but other viruses, such as the seasonal flu, for example, a vaccine was discovered in just three months.
Professor Al-Saeed pointed out that the currently available vaccines ‘Pfizer and Moderna’ and ‘AstraZeneca’ work in different ways. He stated that about 14 million people around the world have received the Pfizer vaccine, and no side effects have been recorded so far, warning of non-specialists’ statements about vaccines. On how to communicate with students in Britain for vaccination, Al-Saeed said that the population of Britain is 66 million and they have a large proportion of the elderly and health sector workers which are in millions, and for UK to reach the young British citizens and international students will take a long time.
“In this case we cannot help them with anything but it is possible to register on the online platform of the Ministry of Health and receive the vaccine upon their arrival in the country.” He pointed out Corona Vaccine Technical Committee does not coordinate with embassies and communication centers to set up a specific mechanism to vaccinate students studying abroad.
