Local health authorities on Friday received 28,800 more doses of the one-shot Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine through a donation from the Government of Spain.

Earlier in the week, Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony had stated that the country was expected to receive about 25,000 doses of the vaccine. The vaccine is currently being used as part of the country’s COVID-19 vaccination and booster programme and was previously in short supply.
