The distribution of AstraZeneca vaccines that were recently received from the United Kingdom has begun, the Minister of Health has reported.
During his daily COVID-19 update yesterday, Minister Dr Frank Anthony stated that the 84,800 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines that were donated to Guyana by the United Kingdom have a storage temperature of between two to eight degrees Celsius and as such can be used in all regions.
“As you know the AstraZeneca vaccine, it would be stored between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and this is quite good for us because our normal cold chain caters for 2 to 8 vaccines. So we have started that distribution process as of this morning,” Anthony informed, adding that the shots are being distributed to all vaccination hubs across the country.
