Meanwhile, another shipment, consisting of 1,336,000 doses, will arrive on Monday, at 7, on flight LH540, from the same airline.
Both shipments will add up to a total of 2,872,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine and will aim to “intensify” the immunization that is being deployed throughout the country, the national government reported today.
