The rector of the University of Tartu has said vaccination campaigns should be replaced by personal counseling to help increase the coronavirus vaccination rate.
The record number of vaccine doses that arrived in Estonia last week was meant to be used for risk groups. However, many people outside of these groups have also been vaccinated. ETV s weekly news program AK. Nädal took a deeper look on Sunday. AK. Nädal spoke to Urmas Veide who lives near Haapsalu and is turning 73 this summer. According to the government s vaccination plan, he belongs to a priority risk group and should receive the vaccine as soon as possible. I contacted a nurse at the family doctor center and I was told that they will call me and that I don t need to go anywhere today, Veide told AK.
