COVID-19 vaccination in Quebec

There are more than 40 provinces in Turkey where the vaccination drive is moving slow, the country's health minister has said, urging once again people to get their vaccines against COVID-19.

"Today, at 10 am, a session of the National Immunization Body will be held, which will give an opinion to the Crisis Staff on the third dose, and next week, the Crisis Staff will sit down and give recommendations," Brnabi told TV Pink.
Brnabic emphasized that a way must be found to additionally motivate people to get vaccinated.

"In recent months, we have data that over 90 percent of patients have not been vaccinated. This is a significant indicator of how important vaccination is. Most of our meeting was focused on how to strengthen the response to vaccination," said Dr. Darija Kisi Tepavevi.

Malta said  it was tightening entry rules to allow only fully vaccinated people to enter the country due to an increase in coronavirus cases.

Health Minister Kriss Ferne said that vaccination certificates will be required from July 14.

"We will be the first country in Europe to take this step," the minister said.

Within the scope of expanding Turkey's vaccination program, the Health Ministry has added more chronic illnesses to its list of vaccine priority, giving vaccination appointments to those over the age of 20 suffering from blood pressure, diabetes, heart, or kidney diseases.

The United States reached another milestone in its Covid-19 vaccination efforts, with half of adults now fully vaccinated, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday.
