"Together with the regional coordinators, we held a meeting to agree on the final developments of intraregional logistics. Also, today we have held a separate commutator with the regional staffs about the peculiarities of accounting and dispensing of immunobiological drugs. There is a clear plan that allows immediately, upon arrival of the vaccine, deliver it to regional warehouses by 11 vehicles simultaneously: seven regions (Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, Vinnytsia and Kyiv) will receive the vaccine on the day of delivery, the rest - the next day," Liashko wrote on his Facebook page.

He also said that on Sunday he will visit Chernihiv region to make sure that the staff, the mobile brigade and the hospital are ready, whose employees will be the first to vaccinate.

"Mobile teams already know how many vaccines they will need in a healthcare facility to vaccinate everyone who want in a given hospital. Since healthcare workers will be involved during the entire vaccination campaign, the National Health Service of Ukraine will conclude contracts with clearly defined medical institutions that meet all the requirements for vaccination against COVID-19, and pay them for the services provided," Liashko stressed.

Vaccination data will be entered into the electronic health care system. The National Health Service will pay for the services actually provided based on this information.
