Argentina’s drug regulator has authorized the emergency use of Sinopharm’s Covid-19 vaccine ahead an expected delivery of 1 million doses of the Chinese-made jab.
The country, which was rattled in recent days by a VIP vaccine scandal that led to the resignation of the health minister, is ramping up its inoculation programme, which has so far been largely built around Russia’s Sputnik V.
The office of President Alberto Fernandez said that 1 million doses of the Chinese vaccine, which requires two doses per person, were expected to arrive in the South American country in the next few days, according to Reuters.
