Procurement of the COVID-19 Vaccine in Hong Kong

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2021 -- As countries around the world continue to face challenges caused by the global health crisis, diligent professionals in the procurement sector have never been more valuable. Carrie Lam has revealed that she sought Beijing's help in securing Covid-19 vaccines from the state-owned pharmaceutical company Sinopharm after 'hiccups' in the procurement of other vaccines already purchased by the government. Lam has expressed that the first batch, needed to roll out a mass vaccination programme, will now face delays. According to Lam, the administration experienced difficulties in securing doses of the BioNTech vaccine from Europe, Sinovac's CoronaVac and the AstraZeneca jab despite having advance purchase agreements in place.
