The government announced yesterday that it has made sure it has enough COVID vaccines for up to 44 million people. After this announcement, many are asking the question: when to get vaccinated?

According to health authorities, if the first deliveries could take place in the country in February or next March, the injections could start in April at the earliest.

The government prefers to ensure vaccine safety first before launching the vaccination campaign, since the health situation is different from that in Europe and the United States, where coronavirus contaminations are exploding.

In addition, mRNA developed by Pfizer and Moderna laboratories is a type of vaccine marketed for the first time and has been tested on only 30,000 individuals. What is more, there are no results from clinical trials on children as well as the elderly and frail.

The executive specifies that it will establish a concrete vaccination plan after examining the beneficial or adverse effects of vaccines. He will then wait until at least a million people abroad have been inoculated. In addition, priority will be given to vulnerable populations.
