THE Ministry of Health is making concerted efforts in vaccination programmes following the target groups in Nay Pyi Taw and regions/states.
The government vaccinated 4,050
people against COVID-19 using Sputnik Light vaccines, which are purchased and
received from Russia as a gesture of bilateral friendship, in Hlinethaya,
Shwepyitha and Insein townships of Yangon Region on 19 January, and 7,549
people in Mingaladon, Hlinethaya, Insein, Hlegu, Hmawby and Shwepyitha
yesterday. Therefore, a total of 11,599 people were vaccinated during these two
days.
The Sputnik Light vaccine requires
only one dose per person and will gain high vaccine coverage in a short period.
The Sputnik Light vaccines will be transported via cold chain and used in
townships with low vaccine coverage of respective regions and states including
Yangon Region.
A total of 17.98 million people has
been fully vaccinated as of 19 January 2022, while 3.6 million receive their
first dose of vaccine. Therefore, there are 21.58 million, who receive vaccines
more than one time, and a total of 39.56 million doses are delivered in the
country.
The people should get vaccinated
without fail and those who receive the first dose should get the second jabs on
the due date or within the recommended date at nearest vaccination sites, stated
the Ministry of Health.
