I think by late March we will be able to actually start vaccination with AstraZeneca. Pfizer may also arrive by that time, - said Tamar Gabunia, Deputy Minister of Health.

According to her, additional conditions for the import of Pfizer will be specified this week. As for the AstraZeneca vaccine, according to Gabunia, the first doses of the vaccine will arrive in Georgia in 2-3 weeks.

“The process involves the Georgian government, Covax and Pfizer. At this stage, the conditions set for the Georgian government have been fully fulfilled. We are awaiting clarification from Pfizer on what will be the additional specific requirements for financial reinsurance. Covax is very active in facilitating this process”, said the Deputy Minister.
