According to estimates, 46 million Leva is needed to pay for the 1.5 million doses of vaccine ordered in April, 114 million Leva – for the additional payments to medical and non-medical staff, and for bonuses for front-line workers. Another 19 million Leva is needed so that GPs can administer vaccines.

The report draws the conclusion that a budget update is imperative.
