First, the relationship with Beijing is expected to scare off current vaccine suppliers. Encouraging them to produce faster and execute complex orders. Second, if current suppliers stop production for some reason, negotiations with China should be our plan B.
We will never endanger our citizens without concrete research results. Everything depends on the results of the research – When asked about the possibility of buying other vaccines, e.g. From China, before Minister Skersky informs about the talks between President Duda and Xi Jinping.
