The cabinet has decided to continue the public vaccination process despite nearing the halfway mark of available doses. The Chief Medical Officer reportedly advised the cabinet to pause at the half-way mark to save enough for the second dose. The cabinet notes state “the CMO proposed that one half of the total be stored so that the second dose can be on hand to be administered in May and in June 2021”. However, the cabinet decided, “seven to ten thousand additional doses will continue to be applied, with the expectation that at least 14,000 doses will be secured through COVAX of PAH0/WHO by the end of April 2021”.
