North Korea has so far not received any coronavirus vaccines amid its prolonged border controls against the pandemic.
The COVAX Facility, a global vaccine distribution platform, has reduced the total number of Covid-19 jabs allocated set for North Korea as deliveries were yet to be made, the Unicef revealed on Thursday.
A total of 1.54 million vaccines have been allocated to the North, according to the Unicef’s Covid-19 Vaccine Market Dashboard, compared with the previously known 8.11 million doses as of last year, reports Yonhap News Agency.
COVAX is shifting to “needs-based” vaccine distribution this year and previously allocated vaccines to the North are no longer relevant, a spokesperson for the Gavi vaccine alliance, which co-leads the program, was quoted as saying.
