Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia

The vaccines will be waited for at the airport by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui.
It was announced earlier that 150.000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine would arrive in Serbia.

He adds that it is only a matter of time before a new strain of the coronavirus, which is spreading faster among people, appears in Serbia as well, and which could lead to a worsening of the epidemiological situation.

Today, the Minister of Health, Zlatibor Lonar, received Sinopharm's vaccine against COVID-19, and then he referred to the appearance of a new strain in Hungary.
"The new strain that has appeared in Hungary worries us. There are already 5 people infected with it. That is what we will talk about today at the Crisis Staff," Loncar said.

The Minister of Health, Zlatibor Lonar, said yesterday that the testing of the Russian vaccine in the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia is nearing the end and that it is expected to be completed in the first days of the new year.
Vaccination against coronavirus with the vaccine of the companies Pfizer and BioNTech started in Serbia on December 24.

"Having in mind the international and regional circumstances, the realization of that task will not be easy, but I am convinced that by working together we will succeed in achieving our goals and guaranteeing people security and a secure future," Vucic said.
He also looked at the other goals he sets.

He added that twice as many doses are expected in February.
Kon stated that Serbia expected 340.000 doses of the vaccine in the first quarter, including Chinese and Russian vaccines, but that around 290.000 doses would actually be delivered, because Pfizer fails to deliver all the required quantities.

"We procured these vaccines bilaterally, independently. We are probably the only country outside the EU in this part of Europe that managed to procure them. There will be more in February and March. Samples of other vaccines were sent for research," Vucic said.
He emphasized that it is very important for vaccination to start in order to protect as many people as possible.

This is envisaged by the plan adopted today by the National Coordination Team for COVID-19 Immunization.

"According to the plan that has been made, the most endangered are clearly defined - they are health workers, then all those who are employed in nursing homes, and then the users of nursing homes themselves," Kon said.
He said that now there is a coordination team for immunization.

Those tests, as she explained, did not receive approval from Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia. "It was discussed at the Crisis Staff and the Ministry of Health checked, those tests were not approved by the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency", Brnabi said on the show "Hit Tweet".
