Guyana will have to pay for the COVID-19 vaccines that it may receive from an arrangement between CARICOM and the African Union, Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony has explained.
Speaking during his daily COVID-19 update on Friday, Anthony clarified that the vaccines through the pact would not be free. “These vaccines are not going to be free, they are vaccines that the country would have to pay for and right now we have indicated our interest in receiving vaccines through this mechanism,” he said.
On Thursday Anthony had told the National Assembly that Guyana could receive approximately 149,000 doses of approved COVID-19 vaccines through the CARICOM-African Union arrangement.
