Sajith Premadasa says govt. should bring down all approved COVID-19 vaccines

COLOMBO: Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said the government should bring down all approved COVID-19 vaccines immediately if it cares about the people.

Addressing a public meeting in Sella Katharagama, he also said the people should not be charged for vaccines.

More than a year after Covid-19 first emerged it has killed more than 1.8 million people out of 84 million confirmed cases. Governments hope that recently approved vaccines can staunch the spread of the virus and stop a cycle of economically crippling restrictions.

India approved the emergency use of two COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday, as nations across the world raced to get their populations inoculated to beat back surging infection numbers.
