Sputnik V lands in La Paz


20,000 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine, “three times more than expected”, according to Bolivia’s president Luis Arce, arrived in the South American landlocked country last week.

 

An aircraft of the state-owned airline Boliviana de Aviación brought the first delivery of the 15.2 million vaccines purchased by the government from Buenos Aires to La Paz.

 

Before that, the vaccines had been transported from Russia to Argentina. There, and during the further distribution, careful attention was paid to maintaining the cool chain. Upon arrival in Bolivia, the vaccines were handed over to the police force. And, between 25 and 26 January 2021, some 300 administrations were given special training on how to correctly distribute the vaccines. (ah)
