The Prime Minister had said TT was to receive its third tranche of vaccines from Covax in July, but later said the shipment would not be available until August.
This is the final tranche due to TT from the Covax facility.
TT was supposed to get a single shipment of 100,000 vaccines but this was later split into three tranches owing to a lack of availability of vaccines worldwide.
