St George’s – Minister of Health Nickolas Steele has confirmed that government is contemplating giving regional countries some of its coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine stock that is close to expiration.
Steele said Grenada has held discussions with some countries on the matter, but he did not identify which ones.
“We have been approached by other countries . . . . We also need to remember that our first delivery of vaccines came from a shared agreement with our OECS [Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States] countries and, therefore, the principle of sharing has existed from day one with our OECS and CARICOM [Caribbean Community] brothers and sisters,” he said.
