“For now, we do not plan to introduce additional measures, because so far Mu has not been detected in other people. Over 90 percent of coronavirus cases in the country are due to the Delta and Delta Plus variants. Regular PCR testing for the unvaccinated will be maintained. so far, no consideration is being given to doing so at the expense of citizens to encourage vaccination, “he said.
Koca reminded that Turkey recommends a third dose of vaccine for those immunized with an inactive vaccine against COVID-19, but so far there is no such recommendation for mRNA vaccines, which have a longer retention of immunity. Monitoring of the effect of these vaccines will continue in the coming months and a recommendation will be made as to whether and when a “reminder dose” is needed.

According to the Minister of Health, Turkey is making preparations to start mass production of the local inactive vaccine Turkovak within a month and a half or two. Kodja also pointed out that the authorities would not want to close schools again due to the COVID-19 epidemic in the presence of a vaccine against the disease and encouraged vaccination. As he noted, in 2-3 days in Turkey the number of vaccine doses expected is expected to exceed 100 million.
According to official figures, 98.4 million people in Turkey have so far been vaccinated with at least one dose of the vaccine.
