Mirsad Djerlek, a state secretary at the Health Ministry, has said that new Covid-19 vaccine incentives will be presented over the next few days.

In a statement to the July 20 issue of Belgrade daily Kurir, Djerlek said he advocated mandatory vaccination for all citizens.  

“It is clear that a fourth wave of the coronavirus will be strong unless we boost the uptake, which is why the state has been preparing new vaccine incentives. Delays in vaccination could lead to a mutation resistant to vaccines. In the last 200, 250 years, vaccines saved states and the planet and it is the only way to fight epidemics,” Djerlek said.

Zoran Bakic, the chief immunization coordinator at Belgrade Fair, on July 20 said he feared that Serbia would soon be reporting more than 1,000 new cases on a daily basis.

“We must consider more radical actions as appeals cannot achieve anything. There is no compromise when public health is at stake,” Bakic told TV Pink, adding he advocated mandatory vaccination for healthcare workers and certain age groups.
