After the medics, it's time for the seniors. According to the schedule January 25th COVID-19 vaccinations are scheduled to begin for people over 70. What should people registered for vaccination in the coming days remember?

First of all, you need to show up at the appropriate vaccination point, on the designated day and time. You need to have an identity document with you, preferably an ID card. On site, you need to fill out a questionnaire, which is the first stage of qualifying for vaccination.

It is worth familiarizing yourself with the questions in advance. They concern not only the current state of health, but also chronic diseases.. 

Patients who complete the questionnaire undergo medical evaluation. If the result is positive, they receive the vaccine administered in the upper arm via intramuscular injection. Fasting is not required for COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccine can be administered at any time of day. Experts recommend being well-rested on the day of vaccination.

For safety reasons, people who have been given the vaccine should remain under observation for 15 minutes. The appearance of sudden, undesirable symptoms should be reported immediately to the clinic staff. After receiving the vaccine, there are no special restrictions on eating, drinking or physical exertion. Before leaving the vaccination point, it is worth confirming the date of the second dose of the vaccine.
