Prime Minister Edi Rama received them at the Rinas airport together with Health Minister Ogerta Manastiruliu and Minister Arben Ahmetaj. Meanwhile, our country is close to the deal for a considerable amount of AstraZeneca vaccines.
While waiting for vaccines Rama was at a conference with journalists and after the announcement that he arrived he compared vaccines to children, saying “the children should now wait”.
During the conference with journalists, Minister Manastirliu provided information on doses expected to come in the following months. She said more 400,000 doses from Pfizer and 140 thousand doses from AstraZeneca are expected to come.
The “8 thousand doses will come on March 1st 15th from Pfizer. There will be 40 thousand doses in total of the first series of Pfizers we are communicating to proceed for the calendar of previous doses. We've received a positive response where there are 140 thousand AstraZeneca to come in the first three months, 25-35% of them will come in March from the second week to the fourth week from April the next doses. To return to the calendar we will remain faithful but depending on the doses we buy“, the minister said.
Rama said a friend country that he did not mention his name will donate 360 thousand doses of AstraZeneca vaccine to us.
We hope that in the next few days we will have high-level communication with the government of this state, that it will not be a secret, but that we will respect the standards from this situation. We're waiting for Pfizer to allow us to implement agreements with the other state that brought in the first doses, which were 1 and 3 of the promised doses, but in the contract Pfizer makes with other countries, we need their approval and therefore we can't activate this amount. With the arrival of the doses today, and those 40 thousand doses that have been confirmed, we will begin extending the vaccine to Vlora and Shkodra. We will massively inject the vaccine, hoping to get confirmations from AstraZeneca and communications with friendly states. The situation is such, the vaccine problem remains serious”, Rama said. /Tch
