During a working trip to Volyn region, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal got familiarized with the activities of the mass vaccination center from COVID-19 № 1 of the reception department of the Medical Association of the Lutsk City Territorial Community.

According to the center's staff, three vaccines are available for vaccination: Comirnaty / Pfizer-BioNTech, CoronaVac / Sinovac Biotech and Vaxzevria / COVID-19 AstraZeneca. Approximately 500 people are vaccinated at the facility every day.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of vaccination, as this is the only way to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We did not and do not want to introduce lockdown. Even the introduction of "red" zones does not encapsulate halting businesses or transport. In these areas, certain restrictions do not apply to fully vaccinated workers or visitors of venues. The example of Morshyn and some communities with a high level of vaccination proves the effectiveness and efficiency of vaccines, "said the Prime Minister.

According to Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine expects to receive another 19 million doses of the vaccine by the end of the year. Currently, 9 million doses are available in the country.
