Sri Lankan health officials have said that more than half of the health workers and frontline military and police officers have so far been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Sri Lanka last week began inoculating its frontline health workers, military troops, and police officers against Covid-19 amid warnings that the sector faces a collapse with a number of health staff being infected with the new coronavirus.
According to AP, 156,310 have been administered the Covishield vaccine. India had donated 500,000 does of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine also known as the Covishield which is the only vaccine approved by the regulatory body in Sri Lanka.
