Last Wednesday, Montserrat received its first shipment of 200 doses of COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna from the UK Government. This is the third type of COVID-19 Vaccine enabling the Montserrat vaccination programme, to offer Moderna, Oxford Astra Zeneca and Pfizer vaccines.
The Moderna vaccine is for persons 18 years and older as a first, second and/or booster jab. This batch will expire in early June 2022.
Governor Sarah Tucker said: “As Montserrat opens back up to the world and we start to live with Covid-19, getting vaccinated continues to be our best defence against becoming seriously ill.
“To protect our community. I’d like to encourage all those who are eligible to consider getting vaccinated and /or boosted. Thank you to the UK Government, all of our stakeholders and partners for their continued support to Montserrat as we start to live with COVID-19.”
