KUWAIT CITY, June 9: Amid reports that the test results of the latest shipment of the AstraZeneca- Oxford vaccine is declared safe, the Ministry of Health is witnessing a wide alert at various levels in preparation for launching a major vaccination campaign, during which unprecedented rates are expected to be recorded in Kuwait, reaching the vaccination limit of 70,000 individuals per day, reports Al-Rai daily.
According to informed sources, the efficacy test results for the latest shipment of the Oxford COVID- 19 vaccine were informally sent to the ministry, stating that the results are sound, and there should be no fears in using the vaccine. However, the ministry chose to wait for the documents to be officially received and approved before receiving the shipment, which was expected to happen during the course of this week. As soon as the efficacy and safety of the shipment is confirmed, the ministry will launch a major campaign that will start within a few hours so that tens of thousands of citizens and residents who received the first dose of the Oxford vaccine will be vaccinated in a maximum of ten days, as announced by the Minister of Health Dr Basel Al-Sabah.
