COVID-19 vaccination in Gdansk – assessment and current recommendations

Table of Contents

    COVID-19 vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness, hospital admission and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Protection decreases over time, so the need for another dose is reviewed according to current recommendations, age and health.

    At Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre in Gdańsk, COVID-19 vaccination is provided as a private, paid service. Please confirm the availability of a suitable vaccine, the appointment date and the cost before attending.

    Who particularly benefits from COVID-19 vaccination?

    Vaccination is especially important for people at risk of severe disease, particularly:

    • older adults,
    • people with significant long-term conditions,
    • people with a weakened immune system, including as a result of treatment,
    • pregnant women.

    Vaccination is also important for healthcare workers and people caring for those at greatest risk. Individual eligibility is reviewed during the assessment.

    How many vaccine doses are needed?

    The schedule depends on age, previous vaccinations, a history of COVID-19, immune function and the vaccine used. For most adults, seasonal vaccination involves one dose. People with significant immune deficiencies may need additional doses arranged by their doctor.

    Old two-dose schedules should not automatically be applied, and intervals between further doses should be agreed with a clinician. Bring information about your most recent vaccination and any recent infection.

    Can I be vaccinated after having COVID-19?

    A previous infection does not rule out vaccination. Immunity from both infection and vaccination can improve protection against serious illness during a future infection. The timing of a further dose takes account of when you were ill and your individual risk.

    How should I prepare for vaccination?

    Bring identification, details of previous vaccinations and a list of medicines. Tell the clinician about long-term conditions, pregnancy, previous allergic reactions and any other significant reactions after vaccination.

    You do not need to fast for vaccination alone. If you have a fever or symptoms of an acute infection, contact reception before attending, as your appointment may need to be postponed.

    What side effects can occur?

    You may experience pain or redness at the injection site, tiredness, a headache, muscle aches, chills or a fever. These usually settle within a few days. Rare serious side effects and contraindications are discussed in relation to the chosen vaccine and your medical history.

    Remain at the centre for the recommended observation period. If you develop difficulty breathing, facial swelling or other signs of a severe reaction, tell staff immediately or seek emergency medical help.
