KYIV, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine has launched an investigation into whether the government bought a COVID-19 vaccine at inflated prices, an anti-corruption prosecutor said on Wednesday.
Ukraine s health ministry agreed in December to buy 1.9 million doses of the vaccine from China s Sinovac Biotech at $18 per dose via a Ukrainian intermediary, the pharmaceutical firm Lekhim.
Anti-corruption campaigners said the deal was expensive and that the government could have obtained vaccines more cheaply from other sources.
Ukraine s national anti-corruption bureau (NABU) has opened an investigation into vaccine purchases, Maksym Gryshchyuk, the acting head of Ukraine s special anti-corruption prosecutor s office, told a briefing.
