Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday announced that Guyana has received a quantity of long-awaited Sputnik V second doses and that administration would begin from today.
The announcement was made during his COVID-19 update, where he stated that authorities have now been able to bring some of those doses into the country despite a global shortage in the jabs.
“We had some difficulties in sourcing the second dose because of what is happening globally. There have been several outbreaks around the world with the Delta variant and this particular vaccine seems to be doing very well against the Delta variant,” Anthony stated.
