It is reported that the University Hospital of Thessaloniki, a designated hospital for the novel coronavirus in Greece, issued a statement on the health status of vaccination doctors on the 20th.

One of the 35-year-old fever clinic doctor tested positive for nucleic acid 15 days after the first dose of vaccine. At present, the symptoms are not serious and he is quarantined at home.

Panageotis Pantriadis, director of the University Hospital of Thessaloniki, said that the fever clinic doctor developed cough, fever and other symptoms on the 17th, and the nucleic acid test was positive.

According to the introduction, he was vaccinated 15 days before the symptoms appeared. The doctor has no more serious symptoms for the time being, is in home quarantine, and has not been hospitalized.

Pantriadis said more cautiously: “I was vaccinated for the second dose on January 19th and still wore a mask all the time.

This doctor’s example tells us that even if you’re vaccinated, we can’t let our guard down.” He also stressed that only when a vaccination rate of 60% to 70% can the group’s immune level be trusted.
