1 4M COVID-19 Vaccine Doses Provided by US Arrives in Afghanistan

More than 1.4 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Afghanistan on Friday.  Donated by the United States to COVAX, the 1,484,900 doses were delivered through the COVAX Facility’s dose-sharing scheme to the Government of Afghanistan. This is the first of two vaccine consignments to arrive this month, bringing the total donation to around 3.3 million doses. “These vaccines arrive at a critical time for Afghanistan as the country faces a difficult surge in COVID-19 infections,” said UNICEF Representative in Afghanistan Hervé Ludovic De Lys. “As many countries face vaccine supply challenges, the dose-sharing mechanism is a rapid way to close the immediate supply gap and ensure the most vulnerable, including healthcare workers, teachers, the elderly, and those in hard-to-reach areas, are protected against COVID-19.”
