Vaccine wastage “close to zero”

We are extracting more out of each batch of vaccines than Denmark, and almost nothing goes to waste, reports corona.fo.

The latest batch of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine was enough for 1,354 shots, and this number has remained steady since vaccinations began in the Faroes. This is 13 percent more than the Danish average of 1,200.
