Sri Lanka Receives 1.45 Million Covid-19 Vaccines from Japan

Colombo: Sri Lanka will receive the largest contribution in Covid-19 vaccines from Japan which will provide 1.45 million doses of Astrazeneca countries through Covax facilities to help the country fight the Coronavirus crisis.
The Japanese Embassy here said Japan responded to the government’s request which was part of Tokyo’s support for Colombo.
Japan has provided Sri Lanka $ 16.2 million to help fight Pandemic Covid-19.
The biggest donation of the previous 500,000 vaccines to Sri Lanka derived from India – Vaksin Astrazeneca Covishield.
Although the state vaccination program was launched with Indian donations, the subsequent delay by the Indian Serum Institute to provide the Covishield vaccine submitted a problem for local health authorities.
Sri Lanka has so far vaccinated 4.2 million from nearly 21 million inhabitants.
Most of the Chinese synopharm vaccines, while the final Pfizer and Sputnik V Russia are also available.
According to the Chinese Embassy, ​​around 7.1 million doses of synopharm vaccine have been sent to Sri Lanka.
The Minister of State Pharmaceutical Equipment Channa Jayasumana said 1.5 million doses of Moderna vaccine will also be caused immediately by the Covax program.
