Covid-19: US provides a fourth batch of vaccines to Togo

(Togo First) - Togo received 336,000 more doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccines from the US last Sunday. The batch, supplied under the COVAX initiative, brings to 1,245,090 the total number of vaccine doses that Washington has offered Lomé so far.

This is the fourth batch coming to the United States. It will help Togo accelerate its Covid vaccination campaign (started on March 10, 2021).

It is worth recalling that the parking lot of the US embassy in Togo currently serves as a vaccination centre; it will stay so until December 16, 2021.

According to data recently disclosed by Togolese health authorities, Togo has over a million doses of Covid-19 vaccines in stock. Also, the country, according to the Financial Times, has already vaccinated more than 4.9% of its population.
