Guinea receives 300,000 shipment of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines

Guinea received 300,000 shipment of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines purchased from China.

Guinean Foreign Minister, Ibrahima Khalil Kaba, said it is set to receive a donation of 200,000 Sinopharm shots and gave no further details on the Sinopharm donation.

The West African country has administered at least 109,296 doses of COVID-19 vaccines so far.

Assuming every person needs two doses that is enough to have vaccinated about 0.4% of the country’s population.

Guinea reports 93 new coronavirus infections on average each day, 59% of the peak in March. There have been 21,460 infections and 138 coronavirus related deaths reported since the pandemic began.
