This is a big battle of life and death but it is also a major trade war. The following countries haven\u2019t suspended the vaccination process: Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Canada, Belgium, which confirmed that it will continue just today, because there is no scientific evidence and we can\u2019t just stop the process because of a doubt that is related to another series and everyone, even those that have suspended the process, are waiting for a confirmation from WHO and EMA, which until now have only confirmed the vaccine\u2019s value and when they suspend it, we will too, \u201cstated Rama.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the last 24 hours, the country has seen a rise in the number of victims from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Health, in the last 24 hours, 17 people lost their lives, compared to 15 in the previous day.
