A dispatch of one million doses of Sinopharm vaccines will be released for delivery to Sri Lanka on June 6 under a commercial arrangement, a Minister said.   

Sri Lanka has placed the order to purchase vaccines at US $ 15 each.  


State Minister Prof. Channa Jayasumana told Daily Mirror that the inoculation drive would gather pace after receiving this stock as a commercial purchase.  He said another one million doses would be delivered afterwards under a similar arrangement layer next month.  “We have received the invoice for it,” he said.
