The Ministry of Health has received a donation of 647,080 doses of the Moderna vaccine from the Government of the United States of America under the dose sharing arrangement through the COVAX Facility.

This will supplement the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination exercise in the country.

“The Moderna vaccine that we have received today will be strictly administered to the priority population groups who have not received their 1st dose of any COVID-19 vaccine,” said Health Minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng.
