The COVAX Facility, a global coalition that operates to secure fair and equitable access to vaccines for covid-19 throughout the world, has notified health authorities in the occupied Palestinian territory and Tunisia of their allocation of covid-19 vaccines as part of the first wave of deliveries to nations in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
“Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region have started gearing up to receive and deploy the vaccines among their communities. With news of vaccines soon to be delivered to vulnerable people in the occupied Palestinian territory and Tunisia this month, we are hopeful that we are on the right track in the fight against this pandemic,” said Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari, World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, in a press release on Sunday.
20 countries in the Region are expecting a supplementary estimated 46 to 56 million doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine doses via COVAX Facility during the first half of this year.
