The first deliveries of the vaccine from AstraZeneca may reach the Czech Republic in two to three weeks, Health Minister Jan Blatný has told journalists. The vaccine was recommended by the European Medicines Agency and later approved by the European Commission on Friday.
Blatný did not elaborate on the quantity of the vaccine that would arrive in the Czech Republic with the first delivery.
Since this vaccine can be stored and transported at refrigerator-level temperatures, general practitioners may take part in distributing the vaccine more easily. Current vaccines, which need to be stored at much lower temperatures, are largely administered by hospitals.
