MILITARY DELIVERS LIFE SAVING VACCINE TO GIBRALTAR

A Royal Air Force military transport aircraft delivered six cold cases of the life-saving Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to RAF Gibraltar, enough for nearly 6,000 life-saving jabs.

Having been loaded on an RAF A400M and flown from RAF Brize Norton on behalf of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the vaccine were then handed over to members of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment to rapidly transport them to St Bernard’s Hospital.

A total of 5,850 doses of the vaccine were kept in the -70c in temperature-controlled packaging with 10kg worth of dry ice on board the A400M.

These vaccine will be used to vaccinate Gibraltar’s front line workers and the most ‘at-risk’ members of the Gibraltar population.
