As the fight against the spread of the novel coronavirus continues across the globe, the City of Zagreb is attempting to step up its game and vaccinate as many of its residents as possible against SARS-CoV-2 this week.
As Index writes, as the mass Zagreb coronavirus vaccination process is set to get underway on Wednesday, as many as 1,500 of the capital’s citizens are expected to be vaccinated on that very day. National Civil Protection staff members will take care of maintaining public order and helping the elderly out when they come to be vaccinated.
Assistant Director of the Institute of Public Health Cecilija Rotim told HTV that Pavilion 6 is ready. She explained what the vaccination would look like:
“Every person will get an appointment for when they need to come here to receive their vaccination, so I’d like to ask my fellow citizens not to come earlier than their appointment time states, but literally five minutes before their appointment, so as not to create extra crowds.
Vaccination is going to be provided for everyone on the list who has previously confirmed their arrival at the site. They’ll first go to the doctor at the triage point where they will undertake a short interview, the doctor will look at the individual’s medical history and look into any possible contraindications to that particular person being vaccinated.
After that, the individual will go to the nurse to receive their vaccination against the novel coronavirus.The next stage will be when the person goes to see our administrative staff where they will receive confirmation that they have been vaccinated. After that, the person will undergo observation that lasts fifteen to about thirty minutes,” Rotim explained.
