Trinidad and To­ba­go is one of five coun­tries that will re­ceive a do­na­tion of As­traZeneca vac­cines from Mex­i­co this week, Mex­i­can For­eign Min­is­ter Marce­lo Ebrard an­nounced on Tues­day.

Mex­i­co re­ceived a to­tal of 50,288,115 dos­es of vac­cines from six de­vel­op­ers, in­clud­ing Rus­sia's Sput­nik V.

"We have do­nat­ed vac­cines to Be­lize, Bo­livia and Paraguay. This week we will al­so send dos­es to Guatemala, El Sal­vador, Hon­duras, Ja­maica, and Trinidad and To­ba­go," Ebrard said at a press con­fer­ence.

The do­na­tion, he said, will con­sist of dos­es of the coun­try's stock of As­traZeneca vac­cine, which is pro­duced joint­ly by Mex­i­co and Ar­genti­na.

The Min­is­ter did not give any fur­ther in­for­ma­tion on when the vac­cines will be sent and how many are in­volved.
