The Health Ministry is setting up an operations room to oversee the rollout of the vaccine, a cabinet statement <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/622d16ad-1483-4584-a029-fc8d986c56a6\">said last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s still unclear how many people will be covered in the first phase of the rollout<\/strong> after Cabinet Spokesperson Nader Saad said Sunday night that kinks in Sinopharm\u2019s supply chain would see us get the full 500k initial doses later than expected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt is still building its war chest of covid vaccines. <\/strong>We\u2019re in in talks with AstraZeneca and Pfizer, Saad said, and hope to get about 20 mn doses of a vaccine from Gavi, the global vaccine alliance, some time in May 2021. Also important: We\u2019re in talks to obtain local manufacturing at Vacsera\u2019s highly regarded facilities.
