Myanmar on Friday - Jan. 22 - received 1.5 million doses of Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccine, from India.
India is donating millions of doses of vaccines, to a string of countries in Asia, drawing praise from it's neighbors.
Shipments have already gone to Maldives, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Myanmar's Health Ministry spokesperson Khin Khin Gyi said that the vaccines would be stored in refrigerated rooms and be rolled out next week. "Health care workers would be first priority and elderly people will be next", she said.
