Falklands Islands to receive 3,000 doses of Oxford vaccine
At 1.10am on Monday, a military aircraft containing 3,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine departed RAF Brize Norton, writes Sky News reporter Hanisha Sethi.
It is a continuation of the UK government's pledge to provide vaccinations to British Overseas Territories such as the Falklands.
Located in the South Atlantic off the coast of Argentina, the islands have had just 41 cases of coronavirus and no virus-related deaths.
General Captain Simon Blackwell stated his support for the mission in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence.
"Tasks like this are exciting for our teams to support and send out vaccines to overseas territories.
"Being an island, the Falklands can be quite a challenging route to fly to, with tricky weather en route."
