As we reported earlier, Chief Sanitary Doctor Viktor Lyashko stated that the COVAX mechanism might provide Ukraine with 16 million doses of coronavirus vaccine.
"There is a potential possibility that Ukraine will be given 16 million doses through this mechanism - we are talking about it, but so far there are no guarantees. Eight million is a 100% guarantee, 16 is a potential opportunity," noted Lyashko.
