Officials from the Yangon Region Public Health and Medical Services Department received a total of 512,000 doses of Sputnik Light COVID-19 vaccines purchased from the Russian Federation yesterday morning at the Yangon International Airport.
Myanmar purchased a total of 1 million doses of the Russian-made COVID-19 vaccines, nearly a half of which 488,000 doses were transported to Myanmar in the first batch on 13 January, and this is the second batch.
Sputnik Light COVID-19 vaccine requires only one dose per person and will greatly contribute to the rapid coverage of the COVID-19 vaccine in Myanmar. The vaccines have been stored at the Central Vaccine Store Depot in Yangon and will be distributed to regions and states.
