The end of May has been earmarked as the latest possible time for when the second and final shipment of vaccines will arrive in the country via the international COVAX scheme.
According to Health Minister Molwyn Joseph, the additional 16,000 doses coming from COVAX should be here within six weeks.
“We got the information from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). I was in a virtual meeting in which they participated … and they again assured us that no later than the end of May we will get the additional 16 thousand,” Joseph said.
