Only 200 citizens took Covid shots over 12 days during which mobile vaccination points were set up in Shuto Orizari near Skopje and in Novo Selo near Strumica.

The so-called Vaccination Caravan was supposed to boost the low immunization levels in Macedonia (41.2 percent) but most of those that came did so for a third booster shot – few people were there for a first shot.

We are trying to entice citizens to come for vaccination. A large portion of the population are left unvaccinated and could have potentially fatal outcomes from Covid, said Deputy Healthcare Minister Vladimir Rendevski.
