    Sri Lanka to purchase ten million Covishield doses from India
  • Sri Lanka will purchase ten million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca's Covishield vaccine from India, officials have said.

    In January, under India's neighborhood-first policy, Sri Lanka received 500,000 doses of free vaccines. They were administered as a priority to frontline health workers and members of the armed forces.

    The State Pharmaceutical Corporation has signed the order with Serum Institute of India (SII) for ten million doses.
