SCORES of anxious Jamaicans awaiting a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine should be breathing a sigh of relief following yesterday’s donation of 65,000 doses of the AstraZeneca brand from Mexico, calming fears harboured by many that the recommended time in-between first and second doses would have elapsed, thereby compromising the vaccination process.
According to Laura Elena Carrillo Cubillas, executive director of Mexican international cooperation agency Amexcid, Jamaica and other Caribbean countries will soon have little to worry about where COVID-19 vaccine supply is concerned, once the central American nation receives approval to manufacture and distribute their own vaccines that guard against the deadly disease which has claimed close to four million lives worldwide and just under 1,070 locally.
