Head of the National Center for Disease Control Amiran Gamkrelidze has called on politicians running for local seats in the October 2 municipal elections to promote coronavirus vaccination in their election campaign. "The main slogan [of the parties] during the election campaign should be [aimed at encouraging the public] to get vaccinated”, Gamkrelidze has told journalists.
