One of the members of the Crisis HQ for combating coronavirus in Serbia, epidemiologist Predrag Kon, has responded to Novak Djokovic's statement that he was against vaccination as a treatment method.

On Sunday, Djokovic said during a live interview on Facebook that he did not want anyone to force him to be vaccinated so he could travel to tournaments, while his statement caused a storm of reactions in global media, as well well by epidemiologists in Serbia.

Predrag Kohn responded with a Facebook post.

"As one of Djokovic's most faithful supporters, I wish I had had the opportunity to make the importance and immense contribution of immunizations to the health of the population more familiar to him. It is now too late, he has created his misconceptions and there is no helping that. Maestro, I wish you all the best. Try to avoid direct answers to vaccination questions in the future, because you have a huge influence," Kon said.
