Fear of a coronavirus mutation called ‘Delta’ has led the Ministry of Health to decide to extend vaccination to people over 18 years of age.
This will be done starting initially with two ‘open’ days, on 29 and 30 June.
From Vlora, the Minister of Health Ogerta Manastirliu said that the decision was taken after the recommendation made by the public health experts and the committee of experts.
““The Delta mutation can affect young people or people who have not been infected or have reinfections, so it is important to continue with the remaining bandages but to extend to other age groups.”– said Silva Bino.
“Based on your recommendation, we have decided that like other countries in the world have practiced from next week Tuesday and Wednesday to be open vaccination days, “open day” for vaccination of the population plus 18 years.
There will be more awareness days, but it is worthwhile to have a good level of vaccine coverage in different age groups of the population to avoid epidemic outbreaks.
Despite the fact that we are in a good epidemiological situation, I can not say that we are immune from either covid or new variants, especially Delta.
“The 29th and 30th of this month should be” open day “for vaccinations of the population plus 18 years old”, said Manastirliu.
Even further, there will be such open days and the portal of albania will be used starting from Sunday and Monday, ie from tomorrow, to book the day of vaccination.
