Thus, he urged high-risk people to get the vaccine without further delay in order to bring down the number of deaths.
Moreover, Dr. Herath said the demand for Pfizer vaccine was extremely higher when it was not available in the country; however, the demand for Pfizer sees a downward trend, despite adequate stocks in hand at present.
