The remaining shipment of COVID-19 vaccines from the World Health Organisation’s COVAX facility has been delayed according to the Minister of Health while noting that the authorities have seen a decline in turnout for the first doses.
These statements were made by Dr Frank Anthony during his daily COVID-19 update where he disclosed that while the vaccines from COVAX were expected to be here in mid-June, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has since received correspondence indicating that there is a delay in the shipment.
“Now they are scheduled to send those shipments in July. So we await from COVAX the specific dates when we will get it in July,” Anthony said, adding that COVAX has been Guyana’s source of the AstraZeneca shots.
