The Deputy High Commissioner of India in Sri Lanka, Vinod K. Jacob, said he would like to commend the professionalism of Sri Lankan authorities who did not cut corners and yet provided necessary approvals in just about a week to COVISHIELD. The Deputy High Commissioner expressed these views while speaking at the ICCSL-CIMA-Daily FT Most Admired Companies of Sri Lanka event held at the BMICH yesterday. You all would be aware of COVISHIELD and COVAXIN vaccines that are currently being administered in India. A plane load of 500,000 vials of vaccines arrived in Colombo on Duruthu Poya Day last month. I would like to commend the professionalism of Sri Lankan authorities who cut no corners and yet provided necessary approvals in just about a week to COVISHIELD,” he said.
