"Vaccination is voluntary, we cannot force anyone," said Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control, in response to a reporter's question about the obligatory vaccination.
According to him, despite this, employers should develop a plan to protect employees as much as possible.
"As you know, vaccination is voluntary with us, we cannot force anyone. Trust me, our self-awareness is very important, we must know that nothing will end the epidemic besides the vaccination.
For example, 61% of employees at the National Center for Disease Control have been vaccinated, up to 90% will be vaccinated by the end of this month. The head of every institution should grasp, develop a micro-plan and vaccinate employees. This is our civil responsibility", Amiran Gamkrelidze said.
According to him, "at this stage, the obligation of vaccination is not considered, because the health care system trusts the tolerance of the population."
Immunization is carried out in Georgia with 4 vaccines: "Pfizer", "AstraZeneca", "Sinopharm" and "Sinovac".
