ZAGREB, 6 January, 2021 - Ten ministers will be publicly vaccinated against coronavirus on Thursday, government spokesman Marko Milic tweeted on Wednesday, adding that those who recovered from the virus and acquired natural immunity would not be among them.
Those to be vaccinated before a cabinet meeting are: Veterans Minister Tomo Medved, Finance Minister Zdravko Maric, Defence Minister Mario Banozic, Labour Minister Josip Aladrovic, Culture Minister Nina Obuljen Korzinek, Economy Minister Tomislav Coric, Construction Minister Darko Horvat, Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic Radman, Agriculture Minister Marija Vuckovic, and Education Minister Radovan Fuchs.
Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic told Croatian Radio earlier today that all ministers were willing to be vaccinated, including those who recovered from coronavirus. He said the latter six, including him, would consult doctors to see if it was opportune for them to be vaccinated too.
"We thought that we must give the vaccine to those who need it the most. If someone has immunity for some time, it's better to vaccinate someone who could have serious health problems tomorrow."
