VI expecting new AstraZeneca vaccine shipment on July 19, 2021
The update came during a July 8, 2021, statement from Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone (AL) on the COVID-19 outbreak currently facing the territory.
“It is a proven fact that vaccination works. As you may be well aware, the current doses of vaccines that we have will expire on July 31, but we have continued to administer first doses. The rate of administration is not high enough,“ Hon Malone said.
Health authorities are now hoping to heighten the pace of first dose vaccinations since another shipment of 3,040 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine has a scheduled arrival date of July 19, 2021.
Follow-up vaccine shipment secured
The Health Minister indicated that the July batch will expire sometime in August 2021 and that more vaccine shipments have been promised by the UK.
“But it will not make any sense for us to continue to get these doses if we do not use them effectively. We have to know that it’s a matter of lives and it is a matter of livelihoods. It is not a conversation anymore, this is real,” he said.
Hon Malone also indicated that the UK has also already committed to providing 15,000 home kits for monitoring COVID-19.
“Public Health England, with the UK’s commitment, has afforded us forthcoming assistance. We will find ways in which those persons who are requiring Pfizer and Moderna vaccines could possibly have access to them if this is your only hold up from vaccination,” he said.

waste
I pray that people who have not yet been vaccinated will step up and take the opportunity to protect themselves, their families, and the entire well being of the community, by getting themselves vaccinated (both doses)!
We don't want it, straight talk dirty manners.
Be very afraid
What factors can depress our immune system?
Older age: As we age, our internal organs may become less efficient; immune-related organs like the thymus or bone marrow produce less immune cells needed to fight off infections. Aging is sometimes associated with micronutrient deficiencies, which may worsen a declining immune function.
Environmental toxins (smoke and other particles contributing to air pollution, excessive alcohol): These substances can impair or suppress the normal activity of immune cells.
Excess weight: Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Fat tissue produces adipocytokines that can promote inflammatory processes. [1] Research is early, but obesity has also been identified as an independent risk factor for the influenza virus, possibly due to the impaired function of T-cells, a type of white blood cell. [2]
Poor diet: Malnutrition or a diet lacking in one or more nutrients can impair the production and activity of immune cells and antibodies.
Chronic diseases: Autoimmune and immunodeficiency disorders attack and potentially disable immune cells.
Chronic mental stress: Stress releases hormones like cortisol that suppresses inflammation (inflammation is initially needed to activate immune cells) and the action of white blood cells.
Lack of sleep and rest: Sleep is a time of restoration for the body, during which a type of cytokine is released that fights infection; too little sleep lowers the amount of these cytokines and other immune cells.
