April 24, 2021 - The Health Ministry on Saturday said that the cijepise.zdravlje.hr platform for arranging COVID vaccination appointments had shown some deficiencies, which is why efforts are being made to remove them and all who have used this platform to sign up to get vaccinated will be given appointments.
The ministry underscores that a glitch that has led to arranging appointments for vaccination of younger citizens before some older ones are inoculated has been fixed.
The ministry admitted that some shortcomings of the platform had been detected. However, the ministry notes that some general practitioners have failed to fully cooperate in implementing this system and updating the data entered in the register for planned vaccinations, which has also caused obstacles for the smooth implementation of the vaccine rollout plan.
The ministry underscores that some county health authorities have made the local online vaccine booking system for themselves.
All that has made it more challenging for the platform to deliver on its expectations, the ministry said in a press release.
It recalls that Health Minister Vili Beroš has already dismissed speculations and insinuations about cronyistic relations with the companies or people involved in selecting this platform.
