Coronavirus vaccine. Piotr Gliński, minister of culture and sport, calls for vaccination: the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is on the threshold

– We have a huge problem with the pandemic, because it has calmed down a bit at the moment, but the fourth wave of the pandemic is on the threshold and will most likely hit Poland within a month. We appeal to everyone to get vaccinated, because vaccination is the only remedy for this situation – Deputy Prime Minister Gliński told journalists after the ceremony of handing over the war losses at the headquarters of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. He added that “this is the only remedy that will lower this fourth wave hit.”

As he said, “people will die if we don’t get vaccinated.” – It is our duty to talk about it, that everyone gets vaccinated – he stressed.

– We will be asking our Olympians, people who have achieved great success, but are also recognizable, and I think they have a sense of obligation towards our community, to also participate in the information campaign on vaccination. We also invite the media – said Gliński.

– Let’s get vaccinated, because this is the only solution – he appealed. – As we have overcome many different diseases, very dangerous, mass ones, we can only win with this disease through vaccination – emphasized the Minister of Culture.

Vaccinations against COVID-19 are voluntary in Poland, they can be used by adults and adolescents from the age of 12. Since last December, when vaccination against COVID-19 began in Poland, more than 35 million doses have been administered. More than 17.8 million people are fully vaccinated, i.e. two doses from Pfizer / BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca, and one dose from Johnson & Johnson.
