Baku/03.05.21/Turan: The State Agency for Compulsory Health Insurance (SACHI) has finally answered the questions of the Turan agency's information request regarding the advisability of using the Astrazeneca vaccine in connection with negative responses to this vaccine in Western countries.
“Although the conflict is formally settled, and we received answers to the questions, they have lost their relevance today. However, public interest was not satisfied when the topic of AstraZeneka was on the agenda,” said director of the agency Mehman Aliyev. The representative of the State Agency called Turan and explained that the untimely response was caused by technical reasons and the department want to maintain working relations with the press.
"For some reason, there was a delay in the development of the website of the Association for the Management of Territorial Medical Units (TƏBIB), but the issue is being resolved," said the representative of the State Agency for Medical Insurance. Because the required information has been provided, Turan will not appeal to the court due to failure to provide an answer to the information request. This is the content of the responses to the agency's request:
Question 1) Who signed the agreement to purchase the Aztrazeneca vaccine?
Answer: The import of the AztraZeneca vaccine into the country is carried out through the COVAX platform to vaccinate the population in order to prevent the coronavirus pandemic. Azerbaijan joined the COVAX platform in September last year.
Question 2) What is the price and quantity of the vaccine purchased under this agreement?
Answer: The agreement provides for the delivery of 432,000 doses of the Aztrazeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Azerbaijan. On April 4, 84,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were delivered from Korea to the country.
In addition, the COVAX platform provides for the delivery of 218,790 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to the country.
Question 3) Will the agreement be terminated because of the reports on the suspension of the use of the AztraZeneca vaccine by a number of countries or not?

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
