The 34,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines that were received on Monday are expected to be used mostly in hinterland areas.
This was revealed by Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony during his COVID-19 update yesterday where he stated that the single-dose vaccine will be sent to communities that are hard to reach. Guyana was able to purchase the Johnson & Johnson vaccines through an arrangement between CARICOM and the African Union.
One dose of the vaccine constitutes full immunization.
