Application for vaccination

So far, 150,000 citizens have registered to through the eUprava (eGovernment) portal to receive the vaccine against Covid-19, the Office for IT and eGovernment told Tanjug.

Electronic applying for vaccination started on Monday, and the director of the office, Mihajlo Jovanovic, said earlier that the application service was made simple, allowing members of a household to also apply for the elderly, without the need to register on the portal itself.

For those unable apply electronically, a call center will be launched tomorrow. When someone applies, they leave their phone number and e-mail address to which they receives a link, that they can use to delete the application or change it, he stressed.

Also, if someone is invited, they don't have to show up because, as he pointed out, the application is merely a good tool to logistically prepare the whole of Serbia for mass vaccination.

A complete logistics system has been created, and as the vaccines are delivered they will be distributed according to interest shown by citizens, so that waiting time is minimal, Jovanovic explained.

He also recalled that vaccination is not obligatory.
