The Sputnik V vaccine will be used in specific areas or zones and will not be mixed with other vaccines, the Government said.

Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that those given the Sputnik V vaccine as the first jab will need to get the same vaccine for the second jab.

As a result, he said that specific zones will be identified to the Sputnik V vaccine.

“The Sputnik V vaccine can be used in areas like the Central Province or North Central Province,” he said.

Cabinet had approved a proposal to allocate USD 69.65 million to purchase 7 million Sputnik V vaccines from Russia.

So far Sri Lanka has used the AstraZeneca vaccine in the Western Province. (Easwaran Rutnam)

Ukrain is not a part of Russia. The government of Ukrain even complained about Putin to the international council in Stratsbourg. Russia stole the Krim from Ukrain. Soon Russia will do the same in Sri Lanka
