With close to 1,900 frontline workers already receiving their first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony yesterday revealed that authorities will exhaust the first batch of vaccines that were recently received to cover as many persons as they can instead of administering the second doses from the same supply.
Anthony made the announcements during yesterday’s COVID-19 update in which he stated that as of Monday some 1,852 persons had received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccines from the initial tranche of 3,000 AstraZeneca shots that Guyana received from Barbados in late January.
