Health Minister: More than 40 million people have been vaccinated with the Chinese "Sinopharm" vaccine, so there are no questions about its reliability

According to the Minister of Health Ekaterine Tikaradze, there are no questions about the reliability of the Chinese vaccine "Sinopharm". As Tikaradze noted when presenting the vaccine, Georgia has intensive correspondence with the World Health Organization to start discussing when it will be possible to launch vaccination with the Chinese vaccine in Georgia after the authorization is granted.

"As you know, "Sinopharm" is recognized by the strict regulator of Hungary, on the basis of which we decided that "Sinopharm" could be allowed on the Georgian market. It is also important to note that more than 40 million people have already been vaccinated with the "Sinopharm" vaccine. Consequently, there are no questions about its credibility. It is waiting for authorization from the World Health Organization. In this regard, we have intensive correspondence with the World Health Organization, as a result of which, after discussions with the councils, we will decide when vaccination with Chinese vaccine will be possible in Georgia", - Tikaradze said.
