The AstraZeneca vaccines were delivered to Idlib province through a border crossing with Turkey
Syria's last rebel-held enclave received its first batch of COVID-19 vaccines on Wednesday, with a refrigerated truck offloading over 50,000 of United Nations-secured jabs in the overcrowded province. The AstraZeneca vaccines were delivered to Idlib province through a border crossing with Turkey, the northwestern territory's only gateway to the outside world. Idlib health official Yasser Najib said jabs were provided through the U.N.-led COVAX programme for the world's poorest nations. More vaccines were expected to arrive in government-controlled Damascus in the coming hours.More Related News
