In a content we shared with you yesterday, Ege University Faculty of Medicine Faculty Member Prof. Dr. We talked about the scandalous statements of Zafer Kurugöl. According to this statement made by the scientist, newborn babies were accidentally injected with the coronavirus vaccine. Acting on the statement, the authorities started an investigation into the incident, while experts on the subject talked about the possibility of such a situation being real.
According to the statements made by scientists speaking to Cumhuriyet, it is technically not possible for babies to be accidentally vaccinated against COVID-19. Experts think that such a mistake cannot be made with the existing systems, and they describe Kurugöl’s statement as unfortunate and sad. . .
Here are the statements of the experts on the subject
Izmir Medical Chamber President Op. Dr. Lütfi Çamlı: Our law firm has launched a comprehensive investigation on the subject. More than 100 million vaccinations were given. Vaccination services are progressing safely and healthily. Vaccines are made with barcode approval and message system, there is a security chain. Technically, it is difficult to make such a mistake. We will follow the process. It’s not right to generalize.
Federation of Family Physicians Associations (AHEF) President Dr. Özlem Sezen: Extreme care must be taken when making such statements. As family medicine and family health workers, we pay utmost attention to vaccination. We do not accept any statement that will disrupt vaccination during the pandemic period.
Family Medicine Employees Union (AHESEN) President Dr. Gürsel Özer: It is an isolated incident, this vaccine does not easily mix with childhood vaccines. In our country, the cold chain in vaccines is followed with the utmost care. If we make such statements without elaborating in public, without basing them on any article, we create distrust in people. In such an event, it is extremely wrong to make statements before the judicial process is completed.
Gazi University Infectious Diseases Department Lecturer Prof. Dr. Esin Davutoğlu Şenol: A very unfortunate statement. No one can accidentally mix and make vaccines for anyone. The vaccine itself may make a mistake in administration, half a dose may be given in the wrong place, but other than that, different vaccines cannot be made interchangeably.
Istanbul Medical Chamber General Secretary Prof. Dr. Osman Küçükosmanoğlu: An unfortunate and sad statement. There may be a case, of course, but vaccines are made through security stages, barcodes are scanned, then recorded, and then the probability of such a mess is extremely low.
