Tengiz Tsertsvadze: What we are seeing here is no longer anti-vaccine mood, it is already an unbelievable thing, the population of Georgia sabotages its own health, life and ultimately the country

On October 14, there was a rally of 30 or 40 thousand people and more than half of them did not wear masks, what else should we expect? - Tengiz Tsertsvadze, director of Tbilisi Infectious Diseases Hospital, said.

As Tsertsvadze noted, the daily number of vaccinations in the country is minimal.

"A month ago we had 25-30 thousand vaccinations a day, we expected that number to become 40 thousand, all the conditions are created for this – we have more than 2 million very effective vaccines, including Pfizer, more than 500 vaccination centers, mobile buses, mobile groups in the regions, so called vaccination marathon, lots of encouraging activities for those who get vaccinated and for those who convince others to get vaccinated.

Nevertheless, the number of vaccinated people in the last 5 days has been 4-5 thousand, which is miserable, a disaster. Of these, mostly are secondary vaccination. People get hardly vaccinated for the first time.

It is clear that the anti-vaccine mood is strong in other countries as well, but what we are seeing here is no longer the anti-vaccine mood, it is already a sad, unbelievable thing. The population of Georgia sabotages its own health, life and ultimately the country. If this continues, the state will again be forced to impose restrictions and this will lead to a reduction in income”, said Tengiz Tsertsvadze.
