This country, last Sunday, took possession of 40,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine Covishield (Indian) AstraZeneca.
The vaccines are part of a shipment of 175,000 vaccines which landed in Antigua earlier on Sunday via chartered aircraft from Mumbai, for distribution to St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and are a donation made by India’s government to the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and Suriname.
