-We have received 740 doses, which will be distributed tomorrow morning (Wednesday) to health centers in all cities and municipalities of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, as well as to the Cantonal Hospital Zenica and the General Hospital in Tešanj. They are intended for vaccination of health workers who are in direct contact with COVID-positive patients- said Director of the Institute, Dr. Senad Huseinagić.

He stated that, according to records, slightly more than 2,100 health workers in this canton have expressed interest in vaccinating, so that this amount will be enough for the first vaccination of about a third of those interested, the Institute for Health and Food Safety announced.
