“Currently, vaccination remains one of the effective means of combating the spread of COVID19 in the state and in the world. And even returning to the most general provisions of military statutes, every serviceman is obliged to comply with safety requirements, take measures to prevent illness, injury, and daily increase physical toughness and fitness. And the duty of the commander is to ensure the safety of life and health of personnel. Therefore, we are doing everything possible so that everyone who has expressed a desire can be vaccinated. Currently, more than 15% of personnel have been vaccinated in the National Guard of Ukraine and this process continues, in particular in the Joint Forces,” said Mykola Balan.
