China has announced plans to provide 10 million Coronavirus vaccine doses under the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) Facility, from which Dominica is set to receive 20,000, the Chinese Embassy in Dominica has said.
The Covax program, which aims to provide two billion doses of vaccine, pools funding from richer countries to ensure poorer nations can inoculate their health workers and most vulnerable citizens, on the basis that the pandemic would remain a global threat if it was not tackled worldwide.
“This is another important measure taken by China to promote the equitable distribution of vaccines, advance international cooperation in fighting the pandemic, and uphold the concept of a global community of health for all,” Chinese spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, said.
“We hope that capable countries in the international community can play an active role and take concrete actions to support COVAX as well as the WHO’s work, to help developing countries receive vaccines in time and contribute to the global defeat of the pandemic at an early date,” he said.
According t the Chinese Embassy, two weeks ago, in a telephone conversation with Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, Chinese President Xi Jinping, said that China provided medical aid for Dominica and other countries in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, and promised to contribute to the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries including Dominica.
The Chinese officials have announced that three Chinese vaccine makers, Sinopharm, Sinovac, and CanSino, had formally applied for inclusion in the Covax stockpile.
Awaiting the one made in Canada. However, in the mean time my “entitled” China or India one is up for grabs.

Way Papa the Doctor helping us real bad… We also getting Vaccines from China. 20,000 is the batch for the Blue Milly Bugs man? I hope so and hope is not for us Labarats
SMH. So now, if you do accept a vaccine, you need to ask which one it is? the Chinese or the Indian. Also are we going to share some in that stock also?
Dominica should accept vaccine supply from democratic nations such as the UK, US, and India. Don’t trust the Chinese, they are simply trying to extend influence.
Well there we go, the cat is finally out of the bag. I just [trust] all my fellow citizens will join me in telling our so called PM to stick it or give it to Antigua. I still have not seen him or Gucci having the India vaccine let alone this Chinese rubbish.
Ya he said he is first in line…so I not hearing him either. Savarin came with his fake like he take vaccine and de others..who allu fooling
I would only take a vaccine that is made in China after the data has been reviewed and approved by an international authority such as WHO or European/US/Canadian. There seem to be a lot of secrecy surrounding the efficacy of these Chinese vaccines.
Not WHO! They are already controlled by the Chinese in particular that general secretary!
