ZAGREB, 10 November, 2021 - On Tuesday 15,204 persons received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the highest number since June, and a total of 24,505 doses were administered, the most since July, the Croatian Institute of Public Health (HZJZ) said on Wednesday.
That was the highest number of first doses since 10 June, when 16,258 were given, and the highest number of total doses since 8 July, when 28,640 were given.
HZJZ director Krunoslav Capak said that after the summer break, citizens had evidently decided to get vaccinated in greater numbers. "We are happy with this decision, both for those who decided to get a first dose and those who decided to get a second or third dose."
"After a year and a half of living in a pandemic, it's clear to everyone that vaccination is the way out. Only with vaccination can we keep our jobs and our children in school," he said.
