To wynika z raportów WHO -- The recent, updated COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Poland, which began on October 25, has seen disappointingly low turnout, with only around 90,000 people receiving it thus far. This limited uptake concerns medical professionals, especially given the severity of COVID-19 complications and expected spikes in respiratory illnesses during winter. The updated Spikevax JN.1 vaccine was introduced as part of a strategic effort to address seasonal increases in infections and prepare for potential surges in COVID-19 cases due to new variants. One reason behind this low turnout may be the delayed availability of the vaccine. According to Dr. Bożena Janicka, head of the Association of Health Care Employers, many people initially showed interest when no updated vaccine was accessible; however, now that it is widely available, the interest appears to have dissipated. Dr. Janicka, who practices family and pediatric medicine, expressed serious concern that the limited interest could lead to increased patient health complications, overwhelming clinics and hospitals during the high-risk winter season. She mentions that some people are hesitant, responding with vague intentions to "think about it" or "consider it," which contributes to a generally low demand for COVID-19 and influenza vaccines alike. Health experts, like clinical pharmacologist Dr. Leszek Borkowski, former president of the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, warn that underestimating COVID-19’s impact could lead to severe health problems. Even though many now view COVID-19 as a milder virus comparable to the flu, doctors observe that COVID-19 can result in prolonged recovery periods of two to four weeks and additional risks of respiratory failure and other severe conditions, especially in older adults or those with pre-existing health issues. For patients with compromised respiratory function or existing health issues, infection can cause critical complications, a concern heightened by rising COVID-19 cases in Warsaw hospitals. Moreover, Dr. Janicka points out the broader implications of this trend, emphasizing that low vaccination rates not only endanger individual health but also give viruses more opportunities to mutate. With fewer people vaccinated, there is a risk that the COVID-19 virus may evolve into more harmful forms, similar to the cyclical changes observed in flu viruses every decade or so. This risk of mutation is particularly troubling when combined with low flu vaccination rates, as the two infections could cause a "double wave" of severe respiratory illnesses this winter. In light of these conditions, both Dr. Janicka and Dr. Borkowski are urging the public to consider vaccination as a preventive measure. The challenges are significant: low public confidence, a general sense of pandemic fatigue, and possibly a shift in perception of COVID-19 as a non-threatening virus. However, the urgency remains, with health experts advocating for proactive vaccination to mitigate the risks of widespread illness, increased hospitalizations, and potentially severe long-term health outcomes that may not fully emerge until years later. The situation underscores a critical need for renewed public health messaging and education about the continuing risks of COVID-19, especially as the virus and its complications evolve.
