“In line with Latvia’s continued support to the Eastern Partnership countries, Moldova will receive Vaxzevria vaccines as part of Latvia’s first donation package to partner countries on a bilateral basis. This week, the Latvian government made a decision to donate 165,600 doses of vaccine to five countries: Moldova, Georgia, Albania, Montenegro, and Kenya. The recipients of the vaccines were selected taking into account Latvia’s external political priorities, including supporting stability and promoting cooperation with countries in the neighboring region,” the message reads.
