Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said that Turkey will acquire further 6.5 million of Sinovac vaccine from Beijing, and is expected to arrive today. The second shipment will allow the ongoing rollout amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Three million doses of Sinovac vaccine have already arrived and 10 million doses in total are expected in Turkey's second consignment from Sinovac Biotech.
" It will reach us in accordance with the procurement plan and the vaccine program will continue without interruption," Koca said in a statement on twitter on Sunday.
Over 600,000 Turkish have already been inoculated with the vaccine in just two days since the vaccine rollout began in mid-January.
