AMMAN, BEIRUT Syria is not faring well in the race to procure the COVID-19 vaccine. While 30 million people have already been vaccinated in 50 countries, the vaccine is expected to arrive in Syria by April, or at the latest by June.
On Tuesday, the Syrian government agreed on the distribution mechanism of the vaccine, but details have not yet surfaced. Ahead of the vaccination rollout, humanitarian actors warn of the risk of discriminatory practices in the distribution of the vaccine if Damascus is given free rein.
