New doses of Pfizer vaccine will be available to the population from the beginning of next week, Tamar Gabunia, the Deputy Minister of Health, told InterPressNews.

According to her, the expired "Pfizer" vaccine will be completely replaced with new doses.

As Tamar Gabunia explained, this year Georgia will receive a total of 1,000,000 doses of vaccine from Pfizer.

"As you know, Georgia has purchased new doses of Pfizer, which will be available to the population after a small logistical change early next week. Existing doses will be completely replaced by new doses of Pfizer vaccine, we will move to a completely new logistics scheme. The exact number of doses remaining will be estimated in a few days. Next week we will know exactly how many of them are left from the first batch," Gabunia explained.

For information, at this time citizens do not have the opportunity to choose the Pfizer vaccine on the vaccination registration website booking.moh.gov.ge. At the moment, only Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccines are available on the site. The reason for this is that a certain amount of Pfizer vaccine has expired.
