Ninety-nine per cent of individuals who have died from Covid-19 in Georgia were not vaccinated, Head of Georgia's National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Amiran Gamkrelidze said. 

Gamkrelidze is travelling to the various regions of Georgia with other health officials to promote Covid-19 vaccination especially among the most vulnerable groups.  

This is a life-and-death battle with an invisible enemy. Vaccination is our main weapon, which will lead to eventual victory", he said.  

NCDC together with UNDP started the ‘Vaccines for Life’ campaign to help speed up the vaccination process and debunk vaccine myths.
