Bosnia and Herzegovina received 10,503 doses of BioNTech/Pfizer vaccines via the EU4HEALTH mechanism, the Civil Affairs Ministry said Wednesday.

The ministry has signed a Covid-19 vaccine delivery contract earlier, according to which Austria should deliver 651,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine which will be financed by the European Commission. It is planned that the delivery should be conducted in four batches, and the first batch began its delivery last month.
