COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka’s main focus is on vaccination and all possible avenues are being explored to secure the vaccine, said Education Minister, Professor G. L. Peiris, on Monday (17).
“We are discussing terms with the respective governments and suppliers,” he told reporters.
However, the Sri Lankan Government has come under fire for failing to procure vaccines on time, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Venerable Pahiyangala Anandasagara Thero, the Chairperson of the Surakimu Sri Lanka Movement said when the country experienced the second wave, it did not have any intention of securing vaccines, instead, the government was more focused on the passage of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution.
