In addition, a total of 5,300 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine had been given to Chinese nationals in Sri Lanka for development activities. However, when The Morning did its own research on the same site, Sri Lanka was listed at No. 2 on the global chart, behind Ecuador, in terms of daily doses administered per 100 people. The vaccination programme by the military was launched after receiving one million doses of Chinese Sinopharm vaccines. Accordingly, eight million doses of Sinopharm, 500,000 doses of Oxford AstraZeneca, 180,000 of Sputnik V, and 115,830 of Pfizer have been purchased by the Government.
