Likewise, the Cabinet member noted that Pfizer will send a batch of 250,000 doses (March), 800,000 (April), and others gradually thru the end of 2021.
Concerning the AstraZeneca vaccine, the Cabinet member pointed out that this laboratory offered a total of 6.55 million doses for the second half of this year, apart from those that will arrive via the COVAX Facility mechanism.
The minister affirmed that negotiations with the Gamaleya Institute of Russia remain in place, adding that other vaccines are also being considered. However, no additional comments can be made on the matter yet. With the subtotal of vaccines that could arrive thru July, if that (goal) is met, we could be covering 61% of the population, keeping the rest for the second half; hopefully, the remainder can be covered during that period, he said.
