The head of the office of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Belgrade, Dr Marijan Ivanua, pointed out that the best protection against coronavirus is vaccination.
He emphasized that no one can confirm with certainty that it is possible to completely eradicate this virus.
"We expect to be able to bring the virus under control by vaccinating people around the world because it is the safest way to gain immunity and protect ourselves. We hope that 40 percent of the world's population will be vaccinated by the end of this year and 70 percent by the end of next year", said Ivanua for today's Blic.
