This morning, at around 8.30, the Turkish Cypriots received the first dose for the first 1000 people who will be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccines from the roadblock of Agios Dometios.
The head of the Technical Committee for health issues, Leonidas Fylahtou, had explained to KYPE that the first doses are delivered for technical reasons, as these vaccines need a constant low temperature, at -70 degrees Celsius, and there is no suitable transport equipment.
For the same reason, the other 1000 doses will be stored under the appropriate conditions until the time comes for their use for the second dose of 1000 people, he clarified. When the appropriate means of transport is found, they will probably be given to the Turkish Cypriots earlier, added Mr. Fylahtou.
