| Vucic throwing the first concrete shovel at the Chinese factory expected to be built in Belgrade |
According to the plan, about 30 million doses of the Sinofarm vaccine will be produced annually starting from April 2022, which will be supplied to Serbia and other countries in the world.
The first cornerstone for the new factory was laid by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in the presence of Ambassador Chen Bo. Vucic said he was proud that Serbia, along with partners from China and the United Arab Emirates, was becoming part of efforts to solve global problems.
In January this year, Serbia launched a mass immunization campaign with the Sinopharm vaccine which is widely used among Serbian citizens along with products of other companies. In June, Serbia began production of the Russian Sputnik-v vaccine at the Institute of Virology in Belgrade.
