“Today, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) delivered to Ukraine 2,930,300 doses of mRNA vaccine from COVID-19 produced (American – ed.) By Moderna,” the statement said.
Details
It is reported that Ukraine receives vaccines free of charge through COVAX, an international community solidarity initiative to facilitate access to effective and safe COVID-19 vaccines for all countries.
The Ministry of Health noted that, in total, UNICEF delivered 7,415,810 doses of vaccines from various manufacturers (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Sinovac) under COVAX, together with this supply.
“It is impossible to calmly watch people suffocate in crowded hospitals. In contrast, vaccinated people are 5 times less likely to become infected and have more than 10 times lower risk of hospitalization than unvaccinated people. According to the latest UNICEF survey, 42% of Ukrainians who have not yet been vaccinated are ready to be vaccinated, which is encouraging. Please get protection now, ”said Murat Shahin, Head of UNICEF Ukraine.
Dr Jarno Habicht, WHO Representative and Head of the WHO Office in Ukraine, stated that a record high level of new coronavirus infections and deaths had been recorded in Ukraine since the end of October.
“While one in five Ukrainians has been vaccinated against COVID-19, most people who are hospitalized and in need of emergency care have not received a full course of vaccination against COVID-19,” Habicht said.
