The ERR broadcaster reported on Tuesday
that the refrigerator also stored other vaccines and drugs, whose safety is now
being evaluated.
The department has launched an
investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
Earlier in June, the Estonian government
decided to donate surplus of 900,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine,
including 500,000 shots to Eastern Partnership countries.
The rest of the doses would be distributed
through the international COVAX vaccine-sharing initiative.
