KYIV — Ukrainian medical facilities have thrown away some unused COVID-19 vaccines after doctors failed to show up for their own appointments to be vaccinated, ruling party lawmakers said on Monday.
Ukraine has just begun vaccinating its 41 million people against COVID-19 after receiving a first batch of 500,000 doses of Indian-made AstraZeneca shots last week, but faces a battle against vaccine skepticism that predates the pandemic.
The government has prioritized giving shots to frontline medical workers but cited statistics showing that 47% of Ukrainians do not want the vaccine.
