A Turkish Airlines cargo plane carrying five million doses of China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine landed in Turkey's capital of Ankara on Saturday, the Turkish health ministry has said.
The jabs will be distributed to hospitals and health centers across the country after necessary tests.
The country has administered over 40.85 million coronavirus vaccine doses since launching a mass inoculation drive in mid-January.
More than 26.51 million people have received their first dose, while over 14.33 million have been fully vaccinated with both doses.
