Blatný gives assurance that vaccine orders are sufficient

In reaction to recently unveiled information in the press that the Czech government only ordered 81 percent of its available allocation of vaccines via the EU, Health Minister Jan Blatný said on Wednesday that the country has in fact ordered enough of them. He said that he was not health minister when the initial order had been made and that he has since ordered more vaccine doses.

This, according to Mr. Blatný, will mean that up to six million Czechs could get the jab by June, moving up to eight million by September.
