British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab today announced that the UK is sending 84,800 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Guyana as part of the first batch of the 100 million doses the UK pledged to get the poorest parts of the world vaccinated as a matter of urgency.
A release today from the British High Commission said that the 84,800 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine will be arriving in Guyana on 2 August.
British High Commissioner here, Jane Miller said that “The UK is proud to be supporting the expansion of Guyana’s Covid-19 vaccine programme. We congratulate the Government of Guyana for its determined efforts to roll out this important vaccination – a key step in our exit from all the Covid-19 restrictions we are all having to live through. I encourage everyone to get evidence based information on the Covid-19 vaccine, get vaccinated and encourage your friends and family to be vaccinated too. It saves lives.”
