On Jan. 24, Crisis Headquarters member Branislav Tiodorovic urged people to get vaccinated as soon as possible, using any vaccine available, as they were all efficient, including against a new coronavirus strain that has appeared in neighboring countries.
He told the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation that the response to calls for vaccination had exceeded expectations and noted that at least one to two million citizens would have to be vaccinated before a herd immunity of sorts could be achieved.
