Prague Mayor wants to tackle uninsured foreigners' vaccination

Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib (Pirates) called on the Health Ministry on Twitter today to deal with the COVID vaccination of foreigners without health insurance in the Czech Republic. At present, only people having public health insurance in Czechia can get vaccinated in the country, including foreigners with permanent residence and foreign employees. Their family members and asylum seekers also enjoy an exemption. Others will have to have a commercial health insurance. Hrib argued that if uninsured foreigners, primarily in Prague, were eliminated from the vaccination system, the population protection would not be secured.
