Speaking at the handover at PAHO’s Barbados office at Dayrell’s Road, Christ Church, Health Minister Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic thanked the organisation for the donation and other assistance rendered.
Meanwhile, the Barbados and Eastern Caribbean Representative for PAHO/WHO Dr. Yitades Gebre says 7.2 billion doses of vaccines have been given the world over.
