Kosovo to Receive 38,000 More Vaccine Doses from COVAX

Kosovo will receive 38,400 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, as part of a donation from the World Health Organization mechanism, COVAX.

The shipment is the second of its kind and is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. The first shipment contained 24,000 and with this one, some 62,400 will have been provided to the country.

COVAX planned a donation of 100,800 doses of AstraZeneca for Kosovo. The remaining doses will arrive in due course.

During this month, the country will also receive 95,000 doses of Pfizer vaccines financed by the European Union, of which 4,680 arrived last week.

Kosovo was the last Balkan country to start the vaccination process.

Several hundred doctors from Kosovo have been vaccinated by Albania in its northern town of Kukes.

Currently, vaccines are being administrated to priority groups and 28,000 persons have been vaccinated so far.
