In June, Tirana is expected to be immunized against Covid-19. The member of the vaccination committee, Genc Sulçebe says that the vaccination and the natural transmission of the infection have influenced the complete immunization of the inhabitants of the capital:
“Normally 70% of the population should be immunized. Including natural immunization even vaccination and we are reaching figures at 30%.
For the city of Tirana, both of these factors will contribute since the end of June, this threshold must be reached “, he said.
But when is Albania expected to be completely liberated from Covid-19?
“While for other cities we have to wait several months. “If we continue with these vaccination rates, I think that at the beginning of autumn we can achieve it at the national level.”
According to experts, given the pandemic situation in these two months Vera is expected to bring sporadic infection figures and a drop in deaths from Covid-19.
However, immunologist Genc Sulcebe says there will always be pockets of the unimmunized population who will be at risk from Covid.
