Ukraine has a sufficient amount of vaccines to immunize Ukrainians against coronavirus. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on air of the program Svoboda Slova (Freedom of Speech – ed.) on ICTV. According to him, Ukraine has a stock of more than 9 million doses of vaccines from 4 recognized world manufacturers.

“People have the opportunity to get vaccinated for free at any time and in any convenient place. When I travel to the regions, I personally visit vaccination centers, talk to people and doctors. The vaccine is the only way to overcome the pandemic and develop our economy,” said the Prime Minister.

Denys Shmyhal noted that the order of the Ministry of Health of December 16 allowed the use of the third dose for people with weak immunity. In addition, a meeting of the expert council of the Ministry of Health will be summoned shortly to decide on the date and procedure for using the booster dose.
