In Erzincan, the healthcare personnel, who continue their vaccination efforts as part of the fight against the pandemic, with the support of other institutions, go over snowy mountains to vaccinate citizens living in villages despite adverse weather conditions.

The vaccine teams, consisting of doctors, midwives and nurses who vaccinate citizens over the age of 65 within the framework of the fight against Covid-19 conducted by the provincial Health Directorate, continue their vaccination works continuously in provincial and district centers, as well as in areas where snowfall is intense in rural and high areas.

Teams that leave the city with the first lights of the day have to pass through the Snowy Mountains to reach the villages, especially because of the weather conditions that are effective in the region.

Health teams who cannot move forward due to the closed village roads due to snow after leaving the provincial center to vaccinate the elderly people sometimes can reach the villages after the special Provincial Administration officials they ask for help open the roads with their construction equipment.
