Citizens express their concerns over the shortage of the vaccine second dose

Citizens voiced their concern over the lack of a second dose of the AstraZenka vaccine, despite the vaccination of nearly a million people with the first dose, attributing this to the negligence of the government and its lack of financial stability to purchase the second dose of the vaccine from India. Specialists accused the government of failing to manage to give the first dose, which was given to a large number of residents of the capital, Colombo, and its suburbs without an adequate strategy at the expense of frontline workers. It is reported that the second dose of AstraZenka was given only to a limited number of residents, whereas citizens are concerned about the effectiveness of alternative vaccines brought by the government from several countries. Meanwhile, hospitals and health centers in the capital, Colombo, continue to provide the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine to a significant number of citizens.
