Second Shipment of Pfizer Vaccines Arrive From US

Another shipment of Pfizer vaccines arrived from the US today. This second shipment of one hundred and seventeen vaccines is in addition to one of roughly the same amount in August. According to a release from the US Embassy Belmopan, today’s donation brings Belize closer to a return to face-to-face learning, resuming to normal business operations, and going back to other essential elements of life disrupted by the pandemic. Since 2020, U.S. COVID-19 support to Belize has amounted to more than two point eight million US dollars including technology to identify COVID-19 variants in laboratory surveillance, towards protection for line workers, and facilitating a national vaccination campaign.
