Kharkiv drug manufacturer Lekhim will supply Ukraine with 5 million doses of the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine

Kharkiv drug manufacturer Lekhim will supply Ukraine with 5 million doses of the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine, more than double the 1.9 million announced earlier, the company said in a press release. This would be enough to vaccinated 2.5 million people. Covax has promised to give 8 million doses to Ukraine, enough to vaccinated 4 million people. Health Minister Maksym Stepanov says Ukraine must vaccinate at least 10 million people – or one quarter of the population — to develop herd immunity.
