Latvia health minister fired in vaccine row Tue 05th January 2021 | 11:40 PM
Riga, Jan 5 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th Jan, 2021 ) :Latvia s prime minister on Tuesday fired his health minister in a row over coronavirus vaccination policy, straining ties within the governing coalition.
Krisjanis Karins said the Baltic state was struggling with the consequences of not having a clear and comprehensible plan of action .
Latvia has focused its vaccination plan mainly on the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, which has so far not been authorised in the European Union.
Government opponents have criticised the slow start of Latvia s vaccination campaign and the choice to purchase a relatively small amount of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, which have been authorised by the European Medicines Agency.
