We're all good. We'll take the second dose in three weeks, but I have no doubt we'll be fine. We did not ask to take the vaccine, but we responded to the expert's request that senior officials publicly show that they are not afraid of vaccines”, said Parliament Speaker Ivica Dacic.
He stated that the move has no political motives and added that it has agreed that top institutional leaders take vaccines from different producers in order to increase citizens' confidence in the vaccine against COVID 19. We'll inform you if we're not okay, but I don't believe the Russian vaccine will bring us back to task for”, Dacic told reporters.
Serbia maintains close ties with Russia, but also with Western countries. Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabiq is immune to the vaccine of Western companies Pfizer and BioNtech. Interior Minister Aleksandar Vullin stressed that vaccine against COVID-19 is free. I believe the vaccine is good and that everyone should take it. I wanted to get a Russian vaccine because I believe in Russian medicine”, Voulin said.
The first surrender of 2,400 doses of sputnik V vaccines arrived in Serbia on 30 December. The Serbian Agency for Barnat and Medical Equipment (ALIMS) announced a day later that the import was approved and that it had met the legal conditions for use.
Serbia and Belarus are the first countries on the European continent to be supplied with this vaccine. The Russian vaccine has not yet been approved by the European Bars Agency (EMA) or the World Health Organisation (OBSH). The US-German vaccine, Pfizer / Bitonech, is the first to gain approval for use in Serbia and the immunization of the population officially began on December 24th.
As the government of Serbia announced on January 6th, by the end of this week, the vaccine of 11,000 people is planned. / REL
