Gorgiladze, N; Sachaleli, N

Covid-19 appeared to be the main problem for the whole world; the only way to beat the pandemics is a vaccination, which appeared the challenge for the countries and pharmaceutical companies. The paper aims to study the current situation of the vaccination process in the different countries and Georgia. The paper outlines the challenges of the vaccination process in the whole world and Georgia. The article uses both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Analysis of the scientific literature and regulatory documents is also provided. To obtain information about the vaccination process in Georgia, a sociological study was conducted. Study participants were Georgian citizens. The online questionnaire link was sent via social networks and by e-mail. Collected data in Google forms were cleaned and exported to IBM SPSS 26 statistical software for analysis. The research clarified the hypothesis that the vaccination process would be difficult for developing countries, and the vaccination process has problems in two main factors: 1. Limit of vaccines, and 2. People's willingness to be vaccinated, thus the government has to work on these two directions. Georgia, as a developing country, still faces problems. As the research showed that, if the vaccination campaign is not more active, it will be challenging to get positive results.
