Since registration is already underway, the Minister expects that the vaccination in the ZSS will begin physically in a few days. Interest should be reported to the e-mail address [email protected].

“We will register the application and assess it to make the work easier for the medical teams that will carry out the vaccinations,” the minister said. The Ministry will send the checked documentation to the Ministry of Health, publish the order in which the applications were sent, and based on this, the vaccination teams will go to the facilities.

Outgoing teams can also vaccinate those who are interested in the first dose of the vaccine if they show interest.

On the sidelines of why the state decided to vaccinate in the ZSS with the third dose of vaccine, Krajniak said that in addition to various studies, the ministry has reason for practical experience with clients and employees who were vaccinated at the beginning (in February) and became ill with Covid-19, had a slightly worse course of the disease than those vaccinated later.

According to a survey by the Ministry of Labor, at least half of those clients and employees who have received the second dose are interested in a third dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
