Ekaterine Tikaradze explains when she will take the second dose of coronavirus vaccine

Minister of Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia Ekaterine Tikaradze says that she will take a second dose of coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year.

According to her, there are a lot of questions about this in the society and the explanation is very simple.

"I took the first dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine, which was approved for citizens of my age and also of sex at that time, it could have been considered a safe vaccine. However, there were different opinions and before I got the second vaccine, I was already infected. Then a new decree was issued, which already contained some risks, and this, of course, had a slight effect on my health, after which it was considered necessary to consult, which vaccine should I continue to be vaccinated with.

It is now becoming known that it is permissible for people who have not been vaccinated with any other type of vaccine to get an additional dose of Pfizer vaccine that is safe for their health and also to decide on a booster dose to be vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine. Therefore, it was quite a difficult process, which of course, as soon as it became public, could have been the subject of some debate or discussion, whether it was truth or a lie. Since we did not have specific answers in this regard, of course, I also had a certain obligation of silence both in relation to my health and so that I did not instill some panic in the population. However, after all this becomes more clear, what could be my further guide to vaccination, I will receive my dose of vaccine", told Ekaterine Tikaradze to Rustavi 2.
