According to the Deputy Minister of Health, the death of a nurse is a sad fact, although the benefits of the vaccination process are significant during the pandemic.
Tamar Gabunia noted that yesterday, the Vaccination Experts and Side Effects board decided to continue the vaccination process.
"I want to express my condolences to the family of the deceased colleague and all our colleagues; what happened is the greatest tragedy, and I do not have words to describe a great loss the system experienced. Megi was the first nurse to call us to start the vaccination process in Akhaltsikhe, but unfortunately, we have this result, which we did not expect. The losses are huge, but we also understand how high risks we face in relation to the epidemic process and what the expected benefits of the vaccination program in general are. Yesterday the Vaccination Experts and Side Effects board decided to continue the vaccination process, which is also based on the European regulator's conclusion, which still supports the continuation of vaccination with AstraZeneca vaccine," Gabunia said.
