Guyana should be proactive on next generation vaccines

Apr 12, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,
With the Novel Coronavirus raging globally and proving to be deadly, governments are racing to acquire vaccines. Guyana is trying to vaccinate its adult population and though this is commendable, we can’t keep up with the new mutations popping up making the virus more contagious and possibly deadlier. Companies around the world are in a frantic search to develop next generation covid vaccines that target not just the spike protein of the virus but other component to make it less likely to mutate and attach to the cells inside the body. That brings Guyana to an important juncture: the government should negotiate very early with one or two of these companies and express interest in purchasing about one million doses of the new vaccines. In that way, we will be upfront and do not have to wait months for donations and negotiate for unproven vaccines. The EU has already started to negotiate with companies for 1.8 billion of these new vaccines, when will Guyana start negotiation for its people?
Yours truly,
B. John
