Tengiz Tsertsvadze: Most of the medical staff is not in a hurry to get vaccinated yet

"I did not expect this, it turned out to be a really serious problem in Georgia, because most of the medical staff is not in a hurry to get vaccinated yet," Tengiz Tsertsvadze, director of the Infectious Diseases Hospital, told InterPressNews.

According to him, according to the plan developed by the government, by the end of the year, about 35 thousand medical personnel should be vaccinated, but currently only 2,000 or slightly more have been vaccinated.

According to Tsertsvadze, despite the widespread opinion that doctors were waiting for Pfizer, the activity in the medical field did not increase even after the arrival of this vaccine.

“This is not good! What is the reason for this, I cannot say, but I hope that this skepticism of doctors and nurses about the vaccine will change soon”, said Tsertsvadze.
