Angola plans to vaccinate around 15 million adult citizens against COVID-19, President Joao Lourenco told reporters here Monday.

The African country expects to receive another batch of Sinopharm vaccines from China by the end of 2021 and more vaccination posts will be opened across the country, Lourenco said after a visit to the headquarters of the local multisectoral commission for the prevention and fight against COVID-19.

To date, Angola has registered 59,371 COVID-19 cases and 1,584 related deaths.
