This is the first lot of Moderna Covid-19 vaccines received by the country.
Moderna would be the fourth vaccine to be used in Vanuatu, apart from AstraZeneca, Sinopharm and the single-shot Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccines.
“We are grateful to the COVAX Facility for this generous donation of the Moderna vaccines” Minister of Health Bruno Leingkone said. “This will greatly support the ongoing rollout of Vanuatu’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign and help us to reach the national target”.
