In a Press Conference, Nov. 23<\/a>, Luis Francisco Sucre, Health Minister of Panama, announced that vaccines will now be available for seafarers visiting the country on Panama-flagged vessels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Sucre specified that doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, branded as Covishield or Vaxzevria in different countries, will be offered to seafarers entering the country at Panama’s ports. There are also opportunities at the Sand Diamond Hotel in the Colon Free Zone and at the Tocumen International Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to vaccinate seafarers in Panama was in direct response to a formal request by The Mission to Seafarers – Panam\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the world’s largest flag state, with more than 9,500 vessels<\/a> sailing under the Panamanian flag, the decision to offer vaccines to Panamanian-flagged vessels might have a considerable positive impact. Panama’s announcement comes in the context of increasing concern about vaccinations for seafarers. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) released their Review of Maritime Transport 2021<\/a> on 18 November, listing vaccination as the number one priority for action. (xxiv) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panama’s generous contribution to the cause of seafarer vaccination stands alongside that in a growing list of countries<\/a> that allow foreign seafarers to receive vaccinations from national programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The written press release has been made available as a press release 637 on the Ministerio de Salud website<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uso de dosis de AstraZeneca<\/strong><\/p>

El anuncio tambi\u00e9n incluy\u00f3 el uso de dosis de AstraZeneca para colocarlas a camioneros que cruzan por los pasos de Paso Canoa, Guabito y R\u00edo Sereno; tambi\u00e9n se colocar\u00e1 dosis a los migrantes y marinos de barcos de bandera paname\u00f1a que atraquen en puertos nacionales y que ingresen al pa\u00eds.<\/p>

De igual manera se habilitar\u00e1 un puesto de vacunaci\u00f3n dentro de la Zona Libre de Col\u00f3n, espec\u00edficamente dentro del Hotel Sand Diamond, para los extranjeros que ingresen a esa zona franca.<\/p>

Estas dosis de AstraZeneca se aplicar\u00e1n a trav\u00e9s del programa Vacotur, as\u00ed como se habilitar\u00e1 un punto de vacunaci\u00f3n a la salida del puesto de migraci\u00f3n, en el \u00e1reas de sala de pasajeros del Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen para que todo aquel que ingrese al pa\u00eds pueda, de manera voluntaria, vacunarse con AstraZeneca.<\/p>COMUNICADO N\u00b0 637, Martes, 23 de noviembre de 2021<\/a>, Ministerio de Salud, Rep\u00fablica de Panam\u00e1<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
