Tengiz Tsertsvadze does not rule out that if such passivity is maintained, vaccination may become universal

It will not be good if everyone chooses "Pfizer", but what can we do, on the other hand, it is the freedom of expression of human will, - said the director of the Infectious Diseases Hospital Tengiz Tsertsvadze.

According to him, in such a case, the "Pfizer" vaccine will run short quickly and the rest of the population will still be forced to be vaccinated with "AstraZeneca" or the Chinese vaccine.

"Pfizer will be used very quickly, the AstraZeneca will still remain and the rest will simply be forced to take AstraZeneca or Chinese vaccine, or wait for Novovax to arrive in June and get vaccinated with it", - Tsertsvadze said.

In addition, Tsertsvadze did not rule out that the age limit for vaccination could be lowered. In response to the question of the journalists whether it is planned to further reduce the age category and allow everyone to be vaccinated, Tengiz Tsertsvadze answered that if such passivity is maintained, vaccination may become universal.

"There are two councils - one vaccination inter-agency and the other for immunization side effects. I am not a member of any council, but as far as I know, this is not out of the question. It is possible that the age limit may be lowered even more, and in general, if such passivity is maintained, it may be open, it may be universal", - Tsertsvadze said.

According to the Deputy Minister of Health of Georgia, Tamar Gabunia, from March 25, both medical workers and citizens over 65 will be able to choose between AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines.
