To get out of the pandemic, Ukraine needs to vaccinate 70% of its population, create herd immunity, and create a system of “COVID-19 vaccine passports,”

President Zelenskiy said on Monday. The next day, his Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said on Ukraina 24 TV: “If there is an appropriate amount of vaccines, we will be able to vaccinate up to 5 million people a month in a very quiet mode.” By the end of May, Ukraine is to receive 1.7 million doses — enough to vaccinate 3% of Ukraine’s adults. Of the 500,000 vaccines received five weeks ago, the Health Ministry has used only 212,900.
