Last Tuesday, January 10, a batch of 75,600 doses of Pfizer's Bivalent vaccine against COVID was received in Panama.

These doses will be applied as of Friday, January 13, which is seeking to strengthen the vaccination program and mitigate the spread of COVID in the country.

The Ministry of Health highlights that this vaccine protects against the variants of the COVID-19 virus, B.5, XBB, BQ1 and BQ.1.1 that currently circulate, making Panama one of the first countries in the region to receive this vaccine.
