Amiran Gamkrelidze: I want to ask you again to get involved in the campaign, as there is no alternative to immunization

According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control, immunization for coronavirus prevention in the country should be continued, because it has no other alternative.

Amiran Gamkrelidze responded to the death of a 27-year-old nurse, who developed anaphylactic shock after AstraZeneca vaccination.

"It's very difficult for everyone, especially for the family, but there is no other alternative in the country. Immunization must continue. I want to ask you again to get involved in the campaign, just like yesterday. Maggie herself called on people to get involved in the campaign," said Amiran Gamkrelidze.

The 27-year-old nurse, who developed anaphylactic shock after AstraZeneca vaccination, died at the First University Clinic today. The nurse was transferred to Tbilisi from the Akhaltsikhe clinic for her deteriorated condition late last night.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has launched an investigation into the death of the nurse under an article pertaining to manslaughter.
