ZAGREB, 7 January 2021 - Ten ministers in the Andrej Plenkovic cabinet on Thursday got vaccinated against coronavirus in front of the press in a bid to raise awareness of the importance of immunising the whole population against this novel virus.
The jabs were administered to those ministers who have not yet caught the virus and have not yet acquired immunity against this infectious disease.
They also called on citizens to get vaccinated.
The head of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, Krunoslav Capak, who attended the vaccination of the ministers, said that many public figures and distinguished people in Croatia would join a campaign promoting vaccination.
He is sure that more than 50% of Croatians are in favour of vaccination, and that a quarter of those polled are still in two minds about getting vaccinated. For those unsure about vaccination, it is important to send messages about vaccination, Capak said.
President Zoran Milanovic was publicly vaccinated against coronavirus at the Pantovcak presidential office today, calling on all Croatian citizens to do the same as, he underscored, that is better than getting infected with COVID-19.
