Lebanon received the first batch of the “Pfizer” vaccine yesterday evening, Saturday, on a Middle East Airlines plane, coming from the Belgian capital, Brussels.
The Lebanese Minister of Health in the caretaker government, Hamad Hassan, said, “The Lebanese government was able to fulfill this dream despite all the challenges.”
He added, “This dream has been fulfilled today with the support of all our international and international partners. If this indicates anything, it indicates the credibility of the Ministry of Public Health and not my personal efforts.”
He continued: “Today we are concerned with all residents on Lebanese lands, international missions, displaced Syrians, Palestinian refugees and all residents of all nationalities on Lebanese soil, and our strategy to combat the epidemic, as I said, depends on international standards and global health and medical references.”
He added, “Within three weeks, we will be able to immunize them all, and therefore this is a call to all citizens who hesitate to register their names (as part of the vaccination campaign program).”
The Russian ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Rudakov, announced ongoing talks with the Lebanese authorities regarding supplying the Russian “Sputnik V” vaccine to Lebanon.
He said, “There is good progress in terms of vaccines in Lebanon, and a related law has been adopted, whereby the Lebanese government has allowed the import and use of vaccines, including the Russian” Sputnik V “.
