“Azerbaijan was one of the first countries in the world to fight the COVID-19 infection. Complex measures have been taken in the country for a short period of time to prevent the infection and its complications. On the basis of the order of President Ilham Aliyev, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the “Action Plan to prevent the spread of a new coronavirus disease in the Republic of Azerbaijan” on January 30, 2020. A Coronavirus Support Fund has also been established. Thanks to the preventive measures taken, our country is among the countries with the least losses from the pandemic. Azerbaijan is also one of the most responsible countries in the global fight against the pandemic. International organizations, including the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and foreign countries point to Azerbaijan as a model country in the fight against coronavirus. At present, there are more than 20 laboratories established for this purpose in our country. The same number of hospitals are set up to treat coronavirus patients.

The statement came from MP, chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation (ATUC) Sattar Mohbaliyev.

According to him, Azerbaijan was one of the first countries to receive vaccines against COVID-19. Vaccination began at the same time as the most advanced countries in the world. By the order of President Ilham Aliyev, the entire vaccination process is free. In general, the most effective way to fight infection is vaccination. At present, the vaccination process is being successfully implemented in our country. As a result, today the population in our country already has 4 types of vaccines. Each of them is effective and completely safe, there are no side effects. According to the latest statistics, the total number of vaccines in Azerbaijan is 4,283,501. This is a very large number. It seems that each of our citizens takes a responsible approach to this process to protect their health and the health of others.

The MP stated that by being vaccinated, we protect ourselves, our loved ones, those around us, first of all, pregnant women, nursing mothers, people under 18, as well as the whole society: China’s SINOVAC in China, AstraZeneca / Vaxzevria in England, Germany’s Biontech / Pfizer and Russia’s Sputnik V vaccines are used. Each of them is considered one of the world’s leading certified vaccines in terms of quality.

“Let’s not forget that due to the pandemic, the ability of pupils and students to continue their education in the world is limited. The impact of the pandemic on education is even more tragic than in other areas. Because it is impossible to imagine our future without science. For this reason, vaccination is very important to overcome the backwardness in education and create a secure future for children, “he added.
