Bidzina Kulumbegov: We will not receive a low-quality vaccine

“We will not receive a low-quality vaccine. If there are insufficient documents and insufficient credibility, the World Health Organization will not allow the Chinese vaccine to be used in the world,” allergist-immunologist Bidzina Kulumbegov told InterPressNews about the introduction of Chinese vaccines in Georgia.

According to Kulumbegov, if the Scientific Committee considers that the efficacy and safety of the Chinese vaccine are not reliable, then the World Health Organization will not grant emergency use and it will not be placed on the Covax platform.

At the same time, Kulumbegov adds that if all vaccines are properly tested and turn out to be effective in 2021, the Covax platform will be able to distribute the doses of vaccines of about 2 billion different companies to 98 countries around the world.
