He noted that 13 new public hospitals with a bed capacity of 4,000 have been opened in the country.
Vaccination is carried out mainly with Sinovac, Pfizer. "The level of vaccination can be considered high, it is a state policy. The population treats it with high responsibility and we don't observe any anti-vaccination actions which simplifies our work", Aliyev continued.
