State Minister of Production, Supply and Regulation of Pharmaceuticals Channa Jayasumana said vaccine doses will be inoculated to residents who are between the ages of 30 and 60.
A stock of 15,000 doses of the Russian manufactured Sputnik-V vaccine arrived in the island yesterday.
The Cabinet of Ministers last month approved the purchase of six million doses of the Sputnik-V vaccine at a cost of US $69.65 million.
The purchase was approved on the recommendation of the Cabinet appointed negotiation committee.
