Jamaica’s supply of COVID-19 vaccines will increase by over half a million doses over the next few days.
This comes as some 369,000 doses of AstraZeneca arrived in the island yesterday (Mon) at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.
These vaccines are a gift from the Government and People of Canada.
Another 204,000 doses of Pfizer is also expected to arrive in the country tomorrow (Wed). These vaccines, as previously announced, will be used to inoculate members of the population, who are awaiting their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
The balance will be prioritized for children 12-17 years old.
