With this, Serbia will be richer by hundreds of more doses of anti-coronavirus vaccines.

With the arrival of the Chinese vaccine, our country will also be the only one that has three types of vaccines available.

If our Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (ALIMS) issues a permit for the use of the Chinese vaccine immediately, immunization of health and education workers who have stated that they want to receive this kind of vaccine could start as soon as on Sunday. It is expected that 100,000 of these workers will be vaccinated with the Chinese vaccine.

Serbia currently has two vaccines available: the US-German one produced by Pfizer-Biontech, and the Russian Sputnik V.

Vaccination against coronavirus started in our country on December 24, and so far more than 19,000 citizens have been vaccinated.

Today, vaccination of those who expressed interest in being vaccinated through the eUprava portal started in healthcare centers in Belgrade.
