London, 28 February 2021:
About 12 million doses of anti-Coronavirus vaccines will start to arrive in Libya at the end of next month, the Chairman of the Scientific and Advisory Committee Khalifa Al-Bakoush said during a press conference yesterday.
He said Libya had contracted with four different companies, but did not mention the companies nor the WHO’s Covax initiative. The vaccines will arrive in batches he added.
Bakoush said the vaccine will be available to those infected in isolation centres first, and then to the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
