Still no shots a year later

-

Haiti does not have a single vaccine to offer its more than 11 million people over a year after the pandemic began, raising concerns among health experts that the wellbeing of Haitians is being pushed aside as violence and political instabilit­y across the country deepen. So far, Haiti is slated to receive only 756,000 doses of the AstraZenec­a vaccine through a U.N. program aimed at ensuring the neediest countries get COVID19 shots. The free doses were scheduled to arrive in May at the latest, but delays are expected because Haiti missed a deadline and the key Indian manufactur­er is now prioritizi­ng an increase in domestic demand.
