Country aims to become a hub for vaccine exports to Africa
Cairo — Egypt is ramping up production of the Sinovac coronavirus vaccine as it aims to become a hub for vaccine exports to Africa and protect its own population of more than 100-million from a fourth wave of infections.
Wali, speaking at Vacsera’s headquarters, said 1-million doses of the Vacsera-Sinovac jab had already been distributed within Egypt. A new Vacsera facility outside Cairo aims to begin production in November and have a capacity of 1-billion vaccines per year.
