The first batch of 1 million doses of coronavirus vaccine is expected to arrive in Hong Kong next month at the earliest, the special administrative region s government said on Friday as the city logged 86 COVID-19 cases after a three-day streak of triple-digit daily cases.
Describing it as a major breakthrough in the city s vaccine procurement, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said the government has secured advance purchase agreements with two vaccine manufacturers-Beijing-based Sinovac Biotech and New York-based Pfizer-which will each provide 7.5 million doses over time.
