The Government of India has decided to grant over 500,000 vaccines manufactured in India to Sri Lanka and the consignment is scheduled to arrive on Thursday (28), the Government said today.

It was said during the Cabinet meeting that in view of the long-standing relationship between Sri Lanka and India and the cooperation between the two countries in face of the COVID-19 epidemic over the past year, India has decided to grant over 500,000 vaccines to Sri Lanka.

However, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa earlier said Sri Lanka would receive a consignment of 600,000 vials of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines from India on January 27 as the first step.

that's only enough to vaccinate 250'000 people = all the big shots and families from parliament, ministries, forces and police, and some sold in the market.

Balance 100,000 will be received after assessing Srilanka's conduct/behaviour.

Sri Lankan mentality : whatever vaccine the government gets 52 lac who voted for Sajith has following says: Pfizer or Moderna: Gota is American loyalist Sinopharm or Sinovac : Gota leaning towards China AstraZeneca: Gota begging India for low quality vaccine Sputnik: Gota like dictatorship. Dammika Paniya: no science stupid So be it. Go with Sajith. You can get takaran house and get covid to develop immunity.
