4 thousand 509 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in Ukraine on August 400. This supply is a direct aid to Ukraine from the Danish government, which plans to transfer 3 million doses of vaccines against COVID-19 to various countries by the end of the year. This was reported by the Ministry of Health.
The transportation of the vaccine from the Danish Serum Institute to Kyiv was provided by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
As the Ambassador of Denmark to Ukraine Ole Egberg Mikkelsen noted: "Denmark and Ukraine are close partners, including in the fight against the pandemic. The delivery of these 500 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine is very timely, as it is extremely important to vaccinate as many people as possible before the fall."
The vaccine from this supply is planned to be used to vaccinate those who are to receive the second dose of AstraZeneca, the rest will be distributed among vaccination points.
