UNICEF’s Representative Nicolas Pron yesterday handed over two solar fridges and 50 vaccine carriers to Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony which will aid Guyana’s COVID-19 vaccination programme.
Provision of the equipment followed a request from the Health Ministry, according to a release from UNICEF.
While the donation is in support of the ministry’s Expanded Programme of Immunization, its immediate impact would be in relation to the COVID-19 vaccine which has to be stored at a specific temperature.
