Health Minister Vili Beros said on Saturday that 40 percent of Croatia's adult population had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“We have made a new step forward – 40 percent of the adult population has been vaccinated. A thank-you to the vaccinators for each dose administered and to the vaccinated citizens for their trust in science and experts. We are on the right track to vaccinate more than half of Croatia’s adult population,” Beros tweeted.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, he said vaccination in Croatia was proceeding as planned. “We are closer and closer to the goal of achieving collective immunity by the end of June, but it’s important to maintain an equally high vaccination intensity.”
