Georgia to purchase Johnson&Johnson vaccine

Georgia is in talks over the purchase of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine, head of the country's National Center for Disease Control and Public Health, Amiran Gamkrelidze, said.

He said Germany would be a donor country in the drug supplies.

"The Johnson&Johnson vaccine is an easy-to-use and effective single-dose jab," he said.

Four vaccines, including Sinovac, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer, are currently used in the vaccination process in Georgia.
