The other tweets further explained how the doses will be administered.

“The vaccination campaign will be carried out using AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines and later Sinovac as follows;

1) All persons starting the vaccination will receive Pfizer vaccine as their first dose and their second dose of Pfizer after one month (4 weeks)

2) All persons who started with AstraZeneca and are due for their second dose will be given AstraZeneca in the same locations.

3) Persons who started vaccination with Sinovac and are due for second dose will be informed shortly on the date to turn up.
