Jamaica receives 55,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines

Jamaica has received another 55,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX medical facility.

The vaccines arrived at the Norman Manley International airport a short while ago.

This is the fourth shipment of vaccines for Jamaica.

Today's shipment is to facilitate another all-island vaccination blitz to inoculate as many persons as possible. 

Some 135,000 people have so far been vaccinated since Jamaica started administering the COVID jab in March.
