Paata Imnadze, head of the National Center for Disease Control, claims that he and his colleagues have been visiting districts and enterprises since July, persuading people to get vaccinated.
Paata Imnadze spoke on the topic of vaccination on "Rustavi 2" and said that the citizens have "shocking questions".
Asked why the state failed to convince citizens of the need for vaccination, the deputy head of the NCDC said that it may have been necessary to provide more information to citizens through the media.
"I have to answer many questions for the citizens. People tell me, it would be good to get this information from TV more. People do not want to be vaccinated because of something so absurd, one might be shocked and ask where they get this information from. Of particular concern is the fact that the vaccine affects sexual function and reproduction. It is true that people should be provided with all kinds of information, "Paata Imnadze said.
