According to the Prime Minister, Georgia will import a vaccine authorized by the World Health Organization and to be supplied in the nearest weeks. The process of vaccination proper will start with target groups in line with the national vaccination plan approved by the Government.

The goal is to vaccinate at least 60% of Georgia’s population by the end of this year, the Prime Minister added, because vaccination is of vital importance in both healthcare and economic terms.

“We must understand that, alongside health-related aspects, vaccination is of crucial importance for the economy. Through our effective cooperation with international platforms-as you know, we are a member of the COVAX platform-and direct bilateral negotiations, Georgia will, in the nearest future, have a quality vaccine authorized by the World Health Organization”, - said Giorgi Gakharia.
