President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov called on citizens of Kyrgyzstan to get vaccinated on his Facebook page.
«Some 46 people with confirmed COVID-19 have been registered today, three have died. They all were not vaccinated. I ask you once again to get vaccinated. According to the latest data, 1,016,000 our citizens have been vaccinated. As a result, the incidence rate began to decline,» Sadyr Japarov posted.
In April, the President Sadyr Japarov offered Kyrgyzstanis to drink an aconite tincture (the Issyk-Kul root) made by a handicraft method. After a storm of criticism and outrage, the posts of the head of state were removed from Instagram and Facebook.
The vaccination campaign started in Kyrgyzstan on March 29, 2021. During this time, more than 1 million people received the first dose, about 800,000 people were vaccinated with two doses.
