Vaccination against COVID-19 will be rolled-out within the next few months and health care workers as well as older persons are high priority groups for these first jabs.
What are the contraindications for COVID-19 vaccination? If a person has an underlying disease should the vaccine be given? Can a person with previous infection be vaccinated? Should all senior citizens receive the vaccine? What ages of health workers will be vaccinated? Will children be vaccinated in the future?
These and many other questions about who should not be vaccinated and how to screen patients will be answered by Dr Nina Berba, Infectious Disease expert and Professor of Medicine UP PGH and Dr. Shelley-Ann dela Vega, leading Gerontologist and expert in aging and health of the UP National Institutes of Health.
