Dr. Ferenc B\u00e1nhidy, <\/span>Vice-<\/span>Rector <\/span>for General Affairs,<\/span> Deputy Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, <\/span>held<\/span> a presentation on the benefits of vaccination, highlighting the positive effects of vaccination on pregnant women. The aim of the event organized by Andr\u00e1s Pet\u0151 Faculty was to enable students and employees<\/span> to provide parents with information from authentic sources. Participants also had the opportunity to ask questions <\/span>from<\/span> the <\/span>presenter.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In his presentation, <\/span>Dr. <\/span>Ferenc B\u00e1nhidy, <\/span>Vice-Rector for General Affairs<\/span> drew attention to the fact that the coronavirus <\/span>i<\/span>s also dangerous for pregnant women. <\/span>He r<\/span>ecall<\/span>ed<\/span> that during the first wave <\/span>there were no<\/span> pregnant <\/span>patients at the<\/span> university <\/span>departments,<\/span> however <\/span>in the second wave 38 <\/span>expectant mothers needed treatment<\/span>. <\/span>I<\/span>n the third wave, more than 90 pregnant patients had to be treated, <\/span>out of whom 25 patients <\/span>needed a <\/span>ventilator, and in several cases ECMO treatment was <\/span>also <\/span>required.<\/span> The <\/span>vice-<\/span>rector emphasized that although the coronavirus does not <\/span>enter <\/span>into the body of the fetus, <\/span>the mother’s poor health <\/span>condition<\/span> may<\/span> even lead to miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the virus attacks the <\/span>expectant <\/span>mother’s lungs, it will also <\/span>have an e<\/span>ffect <\/span>on <\/span>the child’s development. It is important, therefore, that the vaccine is much more beneficial than the potential risk of the virus. Taking <\/span>these factors <\/span>as well as the results of international research into account, it is reasonable to vaccinate pregnant women <\/span>out of turn. That is why<\/span> their vaccination started at the university immediately <\/span>after <\/span>the announcement of <\/span>Dr. <\/span>Cec\u00edlia M\u00fcller, <\/span>C<\/span>hief <\/span>M<\/span>edical <\/span>O<\/span>fficer at the end of March\u201d, <\/span>Dr. Ferenc B\u00e1nhidy said<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hungary was the fifth country to start vaccinating pregnant women, which is important because it can save two lives at the same time, as the children of mothers who have received the vaccine will also be protected against the coronavirus. International studies have also shown that an extremely high number of antibodies are produced in the body of pregnant women even after the administration of the first shot.

“Spontaneous miscarriages are not uncommon before the 12th week of pregnancy, which is why<\/span> expectant mothers <\/span>are<\/span> only <\/span>allowed to<\/span> receive their first <\/span>shot<\/span> in the second trimester. <\/span>B<\/span>ased on recent international and national professional experience<\/span>s <\/span>and opinions, the second <\/span>jab <\/span>can also be administered<\/span> before the 36th week <\/span>of the<\/span> pregnancy, thus providing full protection. For those who are planning to have children, it is recommended to have themselves vaccinated, as it will not have any negative impact on the planned pregnancy”, said Dr. Ferenc B\u00e1nhidy<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>He also talked about the dangers of fake news, and highlighted that they deter a lot of people who as a result, do not have themselves vaccinated. He also emphasized the importance of setting a good example as parents, as we can only be credible if we ourselves believe in what we communicate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to set an example for our children by having ourselves vaccinated as parents, which is currently the most effective way to stop the epidemic\u201d, the Vice-Rector added.<\/span><\/p>\n
