Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign should begin as soon as the regions receive the first batches of a vaccine.
He announced this at a meeting with Ukrainian Deputy Health Minister, Chief Medical Officer Viktor Liashko, according to the press service of the President s Office. Vaccination should begin as soon as possible, as soon as the regions receive the first batches. But it must be voluntary – no one needs to be forced, it is better to inform people in detail about the proper quality of the drug, he said.
