KHARTOUM, March 24 (Reuters) - Sudan will receive its first
shipment of 250,000 doses of the Chinese Sinopharm
COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, state news agency SUNA said on
Wednesday.
Sudan became the first country in the Middle East and North
Africa region to receive vaccine doses through the COVAX
facility this month when 828,000 doses of the shot produced by
AstraZeneca arrived in the East African country.
