There are enough vaccines in Ukraine for the prevention of COVID-19 and a full course of vaccination, as well as for the introduction of a booster dose, Health Minister Viktor Liashko has said.
“Vaccination points and mass vaccination centers are open [except for January 7 – a day off]. There is a vaccine in Ukraine – for the first and second vaccinations, as well as for the introduction of additional and booster doses,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
According to the minister, only three regions of Ukraine have overcome the 50% threshold of the fully vaccinated adult population: Kyiv city (73%), Kyiv (55%) and Poltava (51%) regions.
At the same time, Liashko predicts an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
“The healthcare system is preparing for another increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Ukraine,” he said.
As reported, Liashko on Thursday signed an order on the introduction of a booster dose for all vaccinated Ukrainians over 18 years old.
