Homeless in Belgrade can receive the vaccine at two sites and senior citizens’ clubs, media reported on Thursday.

So far, 17 people registered for the shots, and seven already had been immunised.

The city Assembly said those who haven’t applied could get the vaccine in Belgrade’s central Dorcol area.

The Red Cross volunteers have been informing the homeless about the possibility of vaccination for the last four months.

Aleksandar Petrovic, of the Red Cross in the central Stari Grad municipality, said the homeless were interested in immunisation and he pledged for the opening of new facilities for them where a hot meal should be secured.
