Cairo International Airport received 4 million coronavirus
vaccine doses from the United Kingdom, British Ambassador to Egypt Gareth
Bayley said.
This is the largest vaccine shipment ever from the UK on the bilateral level between Europe and Africa, Bayley said, affirming that “no one is safe until everyone is safe”.
Earlier this month, Egypt received 667,100 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from Belguim and Germany via COVAX in cooperation with GAVI Alliance, said Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the Health Ministry spokesman in a statement.
This comes within the state's plan to diversify and expand the provision of coronavirus vaccines, in order to preserve the state's gains in addressing the pandemic.
