"The vaccination of small children began Thursday [December 16]]. Last week there were 50 a day, a total of 100, 80 applied to today, the interest is there, but these are the first, motivated ones. I will be prepared to comment later on the trends.
"But first of all, adults in the risk group should be vaccinated. Small children with oncology, diabetes, overweight, are those who must be vaccinated. The rest are in no hurry," said Renāte Snipe, chief medical officer of Children's Hospital.
