New Delhi, Feb 10: Roosevelt Skerrit, the Prime Minister of the Dominica thanked and showered praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India for the swift response to his request for 35,000 COVID-19 vaccines that can shield nearly half his country’s 72,000 population from COVID-19.
While seeking the vaccines from India on January 19, he had said he had not really hoped to get the vaccines soon. PM Skerrit and his cabinet colleagues had formally received the vaccines. They even helped unload some of the boxes of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines from the plane.
