Georgia received 100,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine, which is an inactivated vaccine, earlier in April. The vaccine has around a 78% efficacy rate and is likely to be approved by the World Health Organisation by the end of this week. Gamkrelidze stated that ‘it is symbolic I was the first who received the vaccine in Georgia,’ adding that that the vaccine has already been used in 45 foreign states.
Week-long public holidays begin in Georgia today to reduce public mobility and curb the spread of the coronavirus. The interagency commission recommended employers allow their employees to work from home.
Georgia’s Russian-occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region has begun coronavirus vaccination earlier today with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine.
