The Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine has been rolled out among more than 1 million people in Sri Lanka, the Epidemiology Unit says.

A stock of one million doses of the Sinopharm vaccines arrived in Sri Lanka from China this morning.

Army Commander General Shavendra Silva reported that the second doses of the Sinopharm vaccines will begin to be administered from June 8, exactly a month after the first doses began to be administered

Sinopharm 2nd dose will be given from 8th June. Anyone who got jabbed from our centers will get an SMS from “COVID_VACC” with Venue, Time and Date for your next jab.

The second jab of the Sinopharm vaccine will be administered from 8th June. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has advised the health authorities to administer the second dose of the Sinopharm vaccine after a month (June 8th) at the same location where the public received their first jab on the 8th of May.

Two COVID-19 vaccines from China's Sinopharm showed more than 70 per cent efficacy against symptomatic cases, but it remains unclear how much protection they provide against severe or asymptomatic cases, according to the first detailed result of a large late-stage study published to the public.

This is the second lot from China, the first being 600,000 which came on March 31

State Pharmaceutical Corporation (SPC) has made a commercial purchase of 14 million doses of the China-manufactured COVID-19 vaccine Sinopharm.

The United Arab Emirates announced Tuesday it will offer a third shot to recipients of the Chinese state-backed Sinopharm coronavirus vaccine six months after their initial two-dose regimen. The move appears to make the UAE the first country worldwide to formally introduce the booster.

Apart from the 600,000 Sinopharm doses already in use, three million are expected soon
