And when it comes to testing, whether or not you carry the virus (PCR) before vaccination is not recommended as a necessary test – if you carry the virus but don’t have a serious clinical picture, vaccination can’t hurt you.
In short – the Kovid crisis is a very serious challenge, which is associated with high personal costs. Don’t worry about running tests around and after vaccinations, which are not necessary, “added the Bulgarian doctor from Bern.
