What is the name of the vaccines that was received?
ADMIN: AstraZeneca, the release has been updated.
I don’t understand why the government keeps accepting those vaccine donations when we have lots of vaccines sitting in a freezer and they will eventually be thrown out because practically no one is taking any of the vaccines any longer. They are for the most part going to end up in the dump.
What is the name of the vaccine?
DMIN: The donation was made of AstraZeneca vaccines bottled in Mexico. We have confirmed with the Mexican Embassy and have updated the press release accordingly.
Omicron is the best vaccine for COVID 19 as Bill Gates said. Why not do as the UK did today removing all restrictions and is advising it’s citizens to be deligent and get on with living our lives. Stop the power grab and fear. Natural immunity has always been in place throughout humanity.
