Bosnia to get first vaccine delivery through COVAX system in February

According to the ministry, Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive 23,400 Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine doses mid-February as well as 153,600-259,200 AstraZeneca vaccine doses from mid-February to end of the month.

These vaccines producers were previously approved by the World Health Organisation and the European Medicines Agency.

“We're very happy to share with you a letter by the Covax director, which contains the latest information on the vaccine distribution for BiH through COVAX mechanism. This letter refers to the assigned distribution that was created directly towards BiH,” the ministry quoted the letter it has received.

The note also expressed gratitude for the efforts the Civil Affairs Ministry has been continuously investing to have the vaccine arrive in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
