Moreover, Qatar Airways Cargo has crossed a milestone of transporting over 1.5 million COVID-19 vaccine doses into Qatar.

The largest batch of more than 530,000 Pfizer and BioNTech and Moderna vaccines arrived in Qatar earlier this week from Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Since December 2020, Qatar Airways Cargo has transported COVID-19 vaccines to many countries around the world, providing large populations access to these vital vaccines.

Globally, the cargo carrier has surpassed a milestone with close to 20 million COVID-19 vaccines transported into 24 different countries, including COVID-19 vaccines for UNICEF as part of the five-year MoU to support UNICEF’s Humanitarian Airfreight Initiative.
