Deputy Minister of Health says doctors and nurses that convince citizens about importance of vaccination will receive 20 GEL per person

According to the Deputy Minister of Health of Georgia Tamar Gabunia, doctors and nurses who convince citizens about the importance of vaccination will receive 20 GEL per person.

According to Gabunia, doctors and nurses will be involved in the consultation process with population from October 8.

"Now, we have reached the stage when it is difficult to convince people that vaccination is safe and effective without face-to-face communication. The family doctors and nurses, in any case, have a great influence, especially in rural areas. If a family doctor tells a citizen that the vaccine is dangerous, all the efforts are absolutely wasted. It is important for us that family doctors be very active and serious in the consultation process. From tomorrow we will start active consultations with family doctors and nurses so that they can start working with their population,"- said Tamar Gabunia.
