Prime Minister Edi Rama, together with Minister of Health and Social Protection, Ogerta Manastirliu, saw first-hand on Monday the vaccination process in Elbasan.

Minister Manastirliu said that “Elbasan is progressing very well with over 22 thousand vaccinations delivered so far.”

“With the expansion and acceleration of the vaccine rollout lowering the eligibility age to over 60, this process will continue even better,” she said.

Manastirliu said that “in total we have administered over 260 thousand vaccinations including the first hours of this morning.”

“185,000 elderly people have taken the first shot,” she said.

Highlighting the vaccination pandemic handling throughout the country, Manastirliu said that the next batch of Pfizer vaccine is set to arrive today.

“I want to assure you that this process will continue uninterruptedly. The deployment and distribution of vaccines will continue throughout the country. So there will be no delay in the distribution of the vaccines that are expected to arrive. Currently, another 7020 doses of Pfizer vaccine set out in the contract are scheduled to arrive. Vaccination will continue apace throughout the country,” Manastirliu said.
