esko considers that the purchase of a vaccine for covid-19 will cost 2.1 billion crowns. The vaccine would be available at the end of the year Home

Prague The Czech Republic could join the initiative of the European Commission (EC) to buy a vaccine against covid-19, it should invest this year and in the first year and 2.1 billion crowns. It follows from the material discussed by the government on Monday.

Although it would have to undertake to take a predetermined amount of vaccine from individual manufacturers, six are being considered. It is estimated that the vaccine could be available at the end of this year.

The initiative requires that all member states should receive a vaccine for three percent of the population in the first phase, and then for 20 percent. First the health workers should be vaccinated, then the elderly population with more diseases. If the states demand more, this need will be satisfied and at the moment when the other states will cover 20 percent of the population, state the document.

The deposit may have to be paid according to the contract even if the development of the vaccine is not completed in the end. The estimated price for one door is 10 and 11 US dollars (about 220 and 242 crowns). Fifteen percent of the total should be paid during this fall. The rest will be paid, and a shackle will be available.

According to an estimate in the material submitted by the Ministry of Health, there would be about 3.5 million people in the first wave of the shackle. There are about 200,000 health workers, two million people aged 65 and another 1.3 million young people, but at risk for chronic diseases. For some vaccines, immunity develops, and after two doors, you will have about seven million. The costs can range from 500 million to five billion crowns.

Czech Republic formally joined these EU initiatives in June. The future mechanism will require that the committee negotiate contracts with individual contract manufacturers. Each country will then have five days to send the number of courts it will require from it, or it will not join the treaty. The ordered door will then be an obligation to remove. According to the material, the Minister of Health will decide on the conclusion of individual long contracts with vaccine manufacturers on behalf of the Czech side.

Responsibility for the seized name

It is therefore important that contracts with manufacturers will be concluded on an ongoing basis and it will not be possible to compare offers with each other. The decision whether to order the required quantity from one manufacturer or the supply to divide it between all is a political decision of each person working in the material. In the meantime, the EC has six manufacturers, Astra Zeneca, Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, BioNTech / Pfeizer, CureVac and Moderna.

The Minister of Health Adam Vojtch (for YES) stated at a press conference after one government that the first contract on the future with AstraZeneca is on the table and I can add to what he is doing. The data are very promising so far. Assuming that we will join these contracts, as discussed at the government today, and order a certain volume of vaccinations from this company, he noted.

Due to the very rapid development of vaccines and its high financial cost, according to the material, it will very likely have to accept responsibility for any property caused by vaccination as a condition for your additional vaccination.

The Ministry will have to ensure the distribution of the vaccine, ie select a distributor and pay for its services. According to the executive director of the Association of the Innovative Pharmaceutical Industry, Jakub Dvůr, it is likely that vaccination payments will be appropriate and will not cost money to citizens or health insurance companies.

According to public opinion polls, about 60 percent of them want to be shackled against covid-19. It is not yet clear whether they will be able to train practitioners or you vaccination centers.
