A shipment of nearly 5,000 does of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is due to arrive in Gibraltar on Thursday night, with the vaccination program set to resume as from Monday.
The vaccines left the UK vaccine storage facility in Merseyside on Thursday morning packed in -70C ultra-cold storage containers bound for RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
At RAF Brize Norton the vaccine will be carefully loaded onto a RAF flight bound for North Front Airport Gibraltar and due to arrive at 11.20pm.
This latest consignment of the vaccine will allow the commencement of the booster vaccination programme for people over 50, health and care staff and those who are in risk categories.
It will also allow the GHA to commence the vaccination programme for 12 to 15-year olds who wish to take up the offer of a jab.
A further additional supply of 7,000 doses of vaccine is expected from the UK in the next few weeks.
