Prime Minister Zoran Zaev expects mass vaccination in the country to begin later this month or early April. As he stated on Wednesday, the first quantities through the Covax program are expected to arrive in the country by the end of this month, and that the second doses of the Russian vaccine with which the health workers are vaccinated are expected to arrive next week.

According to Zaev, the Chinese Minister of Defense is paying a visit to the country on March 30 and he will probably give more precise information when will the Chinese vaccines arrive.

What we know from all the information is that at the end of March we expect the first quantities from the Covax system. The Chinese Minister of Defense is coming on March 30 and we believe that he will bring more precise information when will the Chinese vaccines arrive. I think that the second doses of “Sputnik” that are administered to healthcare workers will arrive at the beginning of next week, said Zaev after visiting the “Brako” factory in Veles.
