Local health authorities are currently working on procuring vaccines for children in Guyana as final arrangements are being made for the arrival of the Johnson & Johnson and Sputnik V shots, according to Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony.
During his daily COVID-19 update on Thursday, Anthony stated that the government has been making preparations for vaccines for children.
“The two vaccines that have been approved for children between the ages of 18 [and] 12 years [are] basically the Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine, so we’re making efforts to get those and we expect that very shortly we will have those vaccines in Guyana,” Anthony informed.
