China Offers To Donate Another 500000 Doses Of Sinopharm Vaccine To Sri Lanka As Colombo Battles Shortage Of Stocks

The Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka announced that China would donate another 500,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine this month to support Sri Lanka.

This announcement came after it was declared that the Sinopharm vaccine would not be administered in Colombo today, except for E channeling appointments already made. The Colombo authorities claimed that the Sinopharm vaccination programme would recommence in about 2 weeks when the new stocks arrive.

With the latest development, China has offered a total of 1.1 million doses of vaccine to Sri Lankans.
