II. Vaccine Deployment in the Caribbean
Several Caribbean countries have approved / received COVID-19 vaccines purchases and/or donations.
▪ 15 CARPHA member states have received vaccine deliveries from COVAX as of 9th August, 2021. Suriname will also receive 26,400 doses on 9th August 2021, Trinidad & Tobago will receive 33,600 doses on 11th August, 2021 and Guyana will receive 38,400 doses on 14th August, 2021 of the Astra Zeneca COVID-19 Vaccine in their third roll out of vaccines through the COVAX facility. ▪ Based on data collected by the Global Change Data Lab’s Our World in Data site, between 4.47% and 73.21% of persons in CARPHA Member States have been fully vaccinated (Figures 1-2). Completed schedules, based on data from PAHO are shown in Figure 3. ▪ Based on the PAHO Dashboard COVID-19 Vaccination in the Americas as of 6th August, 2021, among CARPHA Member States, vaccine administration (at least 1 dose) ranges from 0.11 to 156 doses per capita (Figure 4). Approximately 3,076,506 doses have been administered, with an average of 38.1 doses per capita among CMS – Table 2.
