Chairman of Vushtrri, government prayer: Please provide vaccines, 40 percent more deaths.

He in an interview for Online Economics has asked the Government to engage more in providing sufficient doses of anti-Convidian vaccines, and to sign contracts with pharmaceutical companies.

Kosovo is developing the immunization campaign with vaccines donated by the World Health Organisation and the European Union. The country has no contract to sign for purchase vaccines from any pharmaceutical company.

“I think that we're very late with the insurance of vaccines, the citizens' interest is very great, and their demand for vaccine is very large, we as a municipality are doing everything with our staff that we do in time of the vaccine process, you've seen in Vushtrria an extraordinary rule during the vaccine process, but the lack of vaccines has caused us to have the largest influx of people and elderly because we're afraid that they're going to be inocinated, and that's what's causing the tollo<1x>.

So my invitation as mayor is, please provide as many vaccines as possible, faster vaccines, sign contracts, no greater priority in this country, it's not and every lost life I tell you is too much, in my town we've had about 40% increase in human mortality compared to previous years and we have to make sure that the” vaccines are provided, Tahir said.

He also said that many people are coming to be vaccinated by fears that there will be no more vaccines, and that is being tortured for people according to President Tahiri.

“People are coming to be vaccinated by the fear that there won't be vaccines because we don't actually have enough vaccines, if we had enough vaccines, we could also spread out into the Family Medicine Centers in the villages and do more quickly the vaccine process and not have the collection of the disease of our elderly and risk their health by coming and trying to get the” vaccine, he stressed.

Tahiri concluded that it is very important that in the municipality he leads have the opportunity for every elderly person to take the vaccine and not wake up in the morning, fearing that there will be no vaccine.

For me, as mayor of the municipality, it is important that every elderly person who comes to the Center of Family Medicine taking the vaccine and possibly giving him the vaccine, and don't be afraid that our parents have no vaccines, and because of fear of waking up 5 morning and ash in line at the Family Medicine Center, and that's unacceptable”, he concluded.

On May 12th, in Kosovo, there have been 38,400 doses of the anti-Coonavirus vaccine through the Covax programme of the World Health Organisation, which is aimed at distributing vaccines to poor countries.

It was the second container of vaccines that Kosovo accepted from the Covax programme, as on March 28th, it had reached its first shipment of 24,000 doses of vaccine.

While, on May 5th, the country had accepted two Pfizer vaccines/ BioNTech, with over 7,000 doses total, as donations from the European Union.

The EU has divided a total of 95,000 doses of vaccines for Kosovo, which will gradually be distributed.
