Today we have reached the vaccination rate of 56% of the adult population who have received the first dose, which is close to 1.9 million citizens, Plenković said at a government session, calling once again on citizens who are fully vaccinated to have themselves vaccinated with the third shot and on those who have not got vaccinated to do so.
Over the past week, of 1,000 hospitalized patients, as many as 75% were not vaccinated, he said.
Of the 15 people aged 40-59 who died over the last seven days, only one had been vaccinated, he said, appealing to all to protect themselves considering the increase in new infections in the past few days.
In the last 24 hours, Croatia has registered 4,154 new coronavirus cases, 26 patients have died and 11,320 vaccine doses have been administered, it was said on the government’s website koronavirus.hr earlier today.
There are currently 22,382 active cases, including 1,231 hospitalized patients, of whom 160 are on ventilators.
