Speaking to The Morning yesterday, SPC General Manager K.M.D.R. Dassanayake said that the final purchase agreement for 930,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine from Belgium would most likely be signed today. “We can expect the stocks by the third quarter, which is July,” said Dassanayake. Meanwhile, Dassanayake also confirmed that 185,000 doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine would reach Sri Lanka by around 22 May. “We expect to receive another 400,000 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine next month as well,” said Dassanayake.
