Serbia received another 500,000 doses of the Chinese “Sinofarm” vaccine on Friday night.
The news was given by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, in a video from the Nikola Tesla airport.
“Dear citizens, I came to Nikola Tesla Airport tonight, in addition to the protocol, and behind me is the plane that brought 500,000 doses of the Chinese Sinofarm vaccine,” Vucic said in a video shared on social media.
About one in five people in Serbia have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and 500,000 out of 7 million citizens have received the second dose of the vaccine, according to official Serbian data.
Serbia is the second country in the world in terms of the vaccinated population rate, after Britain. The country is using a combination of Pfizer, Sinopharm, and Russian Sputnik V vaccines.
