On April 3, 100,000 doses of China-produced anti-coronavirus vaccine, Sinopharm arrived in Georgia. According to Deputy Minister of Health Tamar Gabunia, the country is expecting to start vaccination with Sinopharm by mid-April, however, right now, it is waiting for the official approval of the vaccine by the World Health Organization:
It is already used in various countries and more than 40 million people have already been vaccinated with it. Vaccine test trials are showing very good results and we expect the vaccine to be approved by the World Health Organization by mid-April, Tamar Gabunia said.
She added that the vaccine is easy to store, as it only requires the average temperature of 2-8 degrees Celsius:
Though their efforts are often overlooked, from cultural exchange to capacity building, local players are a key part of the European integration of Western Balkan and Eastern European countries and need more support.
The Preili municipality in south-eastern Latvia has been developing their cooperation with partners in the EU’s Eastern neighbourhood since 2014.
From youth art competitions to online webinars on sustainable development, it continues to build ties with Nizhyn city in northern Ukraine and the Ozurgeti district in Western Georgia.
“The main goal of these projects were to inform local people in Preili, Latvia about the Eastern Partnership countries Ukraine and Georgia and to raise public awareness of development cooperation and education issues, to involve children and young people more actively in these processes,” Elita Jermolajeva, head of development department at the municipality told EURACTIV, speaking in her personal capacity.
