The Government has planned to administer the first dose of Sinopharm vaccine as shield for COVID for people above 60 years of age, if they do not have health complications.

Primary Health Care, Epidemics and COVID Disease Control State Minister Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle told the Daily Mirror that there was a specific reason to arrive at the decision because mortality rate is high among people over 60 years.

The decision was made during a meeting of the COVID-19 Presidential Task Force. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

As a Doctor you know very well that it is not possible to find people above 60 years without any health complications

ARE YOU SAYING THAT ONLY SINOPHARM VACCINE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE OVER 60 YEARS WITH COMPLICATIONS.? WHAT IS THEN SUITABLE FOR OVER 60s with complications?
