“Georgia will achieve herd immunity through infection,” said Ivane Chkhaidze, head of the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group.
According to Chkhaidze, there will be more cases because we are on the upward curve of the sixth wave of the pandemic.
“So far, Georgia is on the upward curve of the sixth wave of the coronavirus pandemic. There will be an increase in cases. It is difficult to predict whether it will be 10,000 or 30,000 cases per day. Several scenarios can develop with equal success. No more than 50% of the adult population is vaccinated twice. Against the background of a number of chronic diseases, Omicron, which has developed in the population over 65 years old, will inevitably lead to an increase in hospitalization and mortality. "Georgia will achieve population immunity at the expense of those who have recovered from the coronavirus," Ivane Chkhaidze said.
