ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey’s official Medicines and Medical Devices Agency granted emergency use authorization to China’s Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine, state-owned Anadolu news agency said on Wednesday.
This week, President Tayyip Erdogan said shots would begin Thursday or Friday after Turkey received 3 million of the 50 million purchased doses of Sinovac’s CoronaVac.
