Baku / 05.01.20 / Turan: Vaccination against coronavirus in Azerbaijan will be carried out at the expense of the state and on a voluntary basis, the chief infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health Tayar Eyvazov told reporters.
To ensure mass participation, it is planned to conduct educational work among the population about the importance of vaccination. “People should be made aware that refusal to vaccinate carries a risk of coronavirus infection. The goal of vaccination is to develop collective immunity in people,” he said.
According to the laws of epidemiology, if herd immunity is formed in 2/3 of the population, then the epidemic process will be stopped. It does not matter if immunity was created artificially or naturally, a representative of the Ministry of Health added.
In a number of countries, initially a part of the population belonging to the risk group is involved in vaccination - these are health workers, people with chronic diseases of the respiratory system, people over 65, etc. Clinical trials have shown that the effectiveness of vaccines used in these countries reaches 95-98% ... Vaccination efficiency indicators for different population groups will be clarified according to the results of mass vaccination, the chief infectious disease specialist emphasized. –06В-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
