Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Friday that after recovering from Covid-19 he had received a second shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine, calling on all Croatians to get vaccinated.  

After consulting with doctors, I have been inoculated with the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, after I recovered from Covid-19, he said in a Twitter post.

“I call on all those who still have doubts, notably elderly citizens, to get vaccinated. Vaccination is the best defence against serious symptoms of Covid-19 and hospitalization. Protect yourselves,” Plenkovic said.
