The tiny remote Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean could “become the first island to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” the British Military said Friday.At least 1,950 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine arrived at Ascension earlier this week on a special support flight by the Royal Air Force.
In a statement Ms. Isaac said: “I feel very privileged to be able to receive this vaccine,” and that the, “vaccination itself was quick and painless.” Given the number of inhabitants the Ascension Island Government anticipates, “that first doses will be administered to all those offered it by the end of next week.”
“I would like to thank personally everyone involved in making this happen.” And said the delivery of the vaccines, “represents the culmination of a lot of hard work across several UK government departments, the RAF and within Ascension Island Government.”
