One of the most important elements of the Covid-19 epidemic, which we have been fighting intensively since March 2020 in our country, as in the whole world, is undoubtedly to be vaccinated. Our vaccination program has been renewed with the additional measures taken and has been organized with the aim of more and more intensive service, and there is a sufficient amount of vaccines for all our people to benefit from.

Vaccination is our most important weapon in our fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. The motherland Turkey's constant consultation with the Ministry of Health has brought us to the desired level in terms of epidemic management, especially when there are difficulties in accessing the vaccine in many parts of the world. I want it to be known that all vaccines are the greatest shield against the epidemic. Let's follow the rules in this struggle and be the vaccine we have reached.
