Harmon asks for full details on Sputnik purchases

Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon has asked Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony to release detailed information on Sputnik V shots purchased by Guyana.

In a letter to Anthony, Harmon asked for the provision of information which includes the quantities and batch numbers of the Russian made vaccines that were procured through the United Arab Emirates. He noted that shipping information along with conditions under which vaccines were stored during shipment should also be disclosed.

“You would agree that it is important that Guyanese be assured that their health and safety are not being jeopardised,” Harmon said in the correspondence, while also asking that the procurement process and other related information be provided.
