Chronic patients under the age of 60 continue to be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, and the possibility of extending it to those over the age of 60 is being investigated. So far, general practitioners have been vaccinated with this vaccine, but 74,000 doses of the vaccine will be delivered to hospital vaccination points and patients will be vaccinated over the weekend.

Stakeholders will be notified via SMS of the location and time of the expected vaccination.
