The Sputnik V vaccines will be available at the Villa Polyclinic

Meanwhile, the Ministry will continue to administer the AstraZeneca and Sinopharm vaccines which are readily available at our vaccination sites.

 

The AstraZeneca is available at the two sites currently in operation which are the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre and the Villa Polyclinic while the Sinopharm is available at Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition.

  1. Wait, it not just over the weekend the Pfizer vaccine came to Antigua? Did the pharmacetical body get to even see it yet? Mercy, they at lightning speed this now. The Sputnik V was here more months waiting approval, wonder why Putin did not ask back for his vaccine.

  2. Get ready! The Lambda variant is on its way from South America. They say that it is contagious as Delta while evading vaccine efforts.

  3. Let Sir Rolls Royce and the rest of the ministers take them and see what happens down the line with him.
