Denmark is going to give around 250,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines to Bhutan to help inoculate its population for the second jab. The health ministry confirmed this. However, the date of arrival is not known.
According to international media reports, the European Union has stepped in to help supply half a million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Meanwhile, Bhutan has been running against time in its quest for vaccines, as the prescribed gap between the first and second doses at 16 weeks, runs out in mid-July.
