Ministry of Health of Ukraine equated clergy with social workers. Now confessors can get vaccinated against COVID-19 at the 2nd stage of vaccination in accordance with the roadmap, the Ministry of Health reports.. " The chairman of the National Technical Group of Experts on Immunoprophylaxis Fyodor Lapiy noted that such a step is necessary, because the clergy are in close contact with people who are at risk. To sign up for a vaccination, confessors need to contact their management and inform about the desire to be vaccinated.. The latter, in turn, will pass on the lists to the vaccination coordinators in the region.. After agreement with the coordinators, the leaders will inform those who wish about the time and place of vaccination. Recall that vaccination against COVID-19 in Ukraine began on February 24, 2021.
