Up­dat­ed: The Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty, ad­vised that it has ac­cept­ed a small do­na­tion of Pfiz­er vac­cines from the Gov­ern­ment of the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca for use by na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty.

In a state­ment the Min­istry said, "This do­na­tion is much ap­pre­ci­at­ed and in­di­cates the con­tin­ued work­ing re­la­tion­ship be­tween the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty and the Gov­ern­ment of the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca."

Ear­li­er on Sun­day:

Trinidad and To­ba­go has re­ceived a do­na­tion of Pfiz­er vac­cines from the Unit­ed States.

The fol­low­ing is a state­ment by the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty. It does not give a quan­ti­ty:

"The Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go wish­es to ad­vise that yes­ter­day, Sat­ur­day June 12, 2021, it re­ceived a gift of Pfiz­er vac­cines from

the gov­ern­ment and peo­ple of the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca.

We have been very for­tu­nate to have re­ceived gifts of vac­cines from dif­fer­ent coun­tries such as St Vin­cent and the Grenadines, Grena­da, Bar­ba­dos,

Bermu­da, the Re­pub­lic of In­dia, the Peo­ple’s Re­pub­lic of Chi­na and now the Unit­ed States.

The Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go is thank­ful and re­mains most ap­pre­cia­tive for these gifts at this par­tic­u­lar time and it looks for­ward to the con­tin­ued good re­la­tions with our re­gion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al part­ners."
