As you know, since September, a vaccination card or PCR test was required for crowded events such as concerts, while scanning the HES code was sufficient in places such as shopping malls and restaurants. With the cooling of the weather, preparations have been started to prevent the cases from increasing, and these preparations include the possibility of introducing vaccination cards to indoor places such as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls.
On the other hand, the studies for Turkovac, the domestic vaccine developed against COVID-19, continue at full speed and according to the announced information, this vaccine will be available in Turkey as of November-December. In addition, various campaigns will be organized to persuade those who are concerned about the domestic vaccine.
Sinovac will be implemented before the end of the year
Turkovac vaccine, whose third phase studies were completed in 30 different centers, is more effective than Sinovac, according to the statements made. According to the news of Nuray Babacan from Hürriyet newspaper, Turkovac’s plans also include its use as a third dose reminder vaccine.
If everything goes well with the vaccine, the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency will subject the samples to a 14-day test. Then, in case of emergency use approval, mass production will be started and a maximum of 300 thousand vaccines will be produced per day.
