Irakli Gharibashvili: After vaccination, death, which is most painful for us, is virtually ruled out - we should believe in scientists and not thousands of misinformation and lies spread via Facebook and other means

A few days ago we received half a million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. This is the US assistance, I want to thank the United States once again and personally President Biden for this gift, - Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili said at today's governmental session.

The head of government noted that the country has a total of 2 million vaccines - 1.5 million Chinese vaccines and half a million Pfizer.

"In addition, we have ordered a million doses of Pfizer directly from the manufacturer, and the supply of this million doses has already begun. The process is ongoing. In total we will have 3 million vaccines. 2 million are already here, 1 million will arrive within a month and a half, gradually, every weekend. I would like to appeal to the population once again and explain the importance of vaccination once again. Too many questions are heard as to why vaccination is necessary. The main answer and argument I want to share with our population is that after vaccination, death, which is most painful for us, is virtually ruled out.

Therefore, I would like to call on everybody to get vaccinated. I want to reiterate once again that we should believe in scientists and not thousands of misinformation and lies spread via Facebook and other means," said the PM.
