SIR MOLWYN COMMENTS ON VACCINE CAMPAIGN

Report filed by Jessica Russell – News Reporter.

While the country has received 1000 doses of Russia’s Sputnik 5 COVID- 19 vaccine, they’re not yet in use although the country has started Phase 2 of its vaccination campaign.

Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph says people’s receptivity to the vaccine is a pleasant surprise.

He says his Ministry is also working to secure more vaccines

The country is currently administering the Oxford- Astrazeneca vaccine.
However, Sir Molwyn says the Russian vaccine may be among the additional doses acquired because of the public’s interest in the Sputnik 5 brand.
