Pandemia COVID-19 a adus in martie 2021 “al treilea val” de infectari, care pune deja probleme suplimentare, mai ales in Europa Centrala si de Est, prin circulatia larga a noilor tulpini cu infectiozitate crescuta ale virusului SARS-CoV2 si mai ales a tulpinii britanice B117. In aceste conditii, accelerarea vaccinarii anti-COVID-19 reprezinta o prioritate pentru controlul efectelor noului val de infectari si pentru prevenirea altor episoade de infectie in populatie. Pacientii cu boli hepatice cronice moderate sau severe, obezi, cu boli metabolice, autoimune, pacientii imunosupresati si cu afectiuni oncologice reprezinta categorii populationale prioritizate la vaccinarea COVID-19, conform strategiei nationale de imunizare anti-COVID-19 din Romania.
Mai multe intrebari se ridica in contextul actual al pandemiei COVID-19 cu privire la vaccinarea anti COVID-19 a pacientilor cu afectiuni hepatice cronice, atat in randul pacientilor cat si in randul specialistilor din domeniul sanitar.
Principalele intrebari legate de vaccinarea pacientilor cu afectiuni cronice hepatice
