Additional programs and trusted international partners, to be announced in the coming months, will facilitate increased access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, with a focus on vulnerable and hard to reach populations, and further strengthen the Georgian people’s ability capacity of Georgia’s healthcare system to prevent, detect, and respond to cases of COVID-19.

These COVID-19 response activities will total $5,4 million in new assistance from the American people to Georgian people, civil society, and others,” the USAID announced.
