Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony on Friday confirmed that there is currently no revaccination plan for persons who wish to travel but have received the Sputnik V vaccine, which has not yet been approved and is not being accepted by some countries as a valid shot.
Speaking during his daily COVID-19 update, Anthony stated that revaccination would mean that persons would receive additional vaccines that could be used to inoculate the unvaccinated population.
During the update, Stabroek News inquired as to the Ministry of Health’s plan to address the issue of persons who wish to travel but have received the so far unapproved vaccine. This is in light of reports of the possible approval of the Sputnik V vaccine, which has been “backbone” of Guyana’s inoculation programme, being delayed to 2022 by some regulatory bodies.
