TIRANA, July 28/ATA/ Since the beginning of the anti-Covid vaccination process in our country, there have been performed 1,158,303 vaccinations.

“507,623 citizens have received both doses of the vaccine and are more protected,” said Manastirliu who posted a video in the social media from the process of vaccination of the citizens.

A citizen said that, “I just got the second vaccine and I feel much relieved because in every case it is better than being non-vaccinated”.

“All citizens need to be vaccinated to end this pandemic as soon as possible. I hope that all Albanian citizens do the same thing I did today,” said another citizen.

One teenager called on his peers to get the vaccine and not neglect it.

A new batch of about 67 thousand Pfizer vaccines arrived last night at the “Mother Teresa” airport. Health authorities reiterated calls for vaccination of the population while the Delta mutation is present in the country. The ministry appealed to citizens to be vaccinated as soon as possible so that to curb the spread of the dangerous virus.
