(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) China is to donate one million doses of the Sinovac vaccine to Sri Lanka, the Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka said.
The Embassy said that the vaccines will help Sri Lanka further expand its vaccination drive.
The Chinese Embassy said that Sinovac is the world’s most used vaccine, with 1.8 billion doses supplied and 1.4 billion jabbed in 50 countries by the end of August.
