Certain doses of AstraZeneca vaccine remain unused in Georgia

Vaccination with the second dose of AstraZeneca against coronavirus has been completed. From now on, those who have been vaccinated with Astrazeneca in the first dose will be offered an alternative vaccine: Pfizer, Sinopharm or Sinovac.

As Amiran Gamkrelidze, Head of the National Center for Disease Control, told InterpressNews, the doses of AstraZeneca received through donations remained largely unused.

As Gamkrelidze explained, next week the relevant services will establish how many doses of AstraZeneca were left unused.

The Head of the National Center for Disease Control told InterpressNews on October 8 that there was a possibility that up to 15,000 doses of AstraZeneca would remain unused.
