Sputnik V vaccines will arrive in Sri Lanka on May 4

Government authorities reported that Fifteen thousand doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccines will arrive in Sri Lanka on May 4 and authorities are planned to administrate those vaccines to the public in the Western Province immediately.

However, officials earlier said 200,000 doses would arrive by the end of April and according to the reports Russia will send further doses only after these 15,000 are administered to the public.

Sputnik V vaccines also require two doses per person, similar to the AstraZeneca vaccines.
