Izwe lilethe imithamo engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-20.2 ngoMgqibelo, okwenza inani eliphelele lemithamo enikezwayo kuzwelonke libe yizigidigidi ezingu-1.01, kusho ikhomishini ngeSonto. Esontweni eledlule, iShayina ibinikeze imithamo engaba yizigidi ezingu-20 nsuku zonke, kusukela kumithamo engaba yizigidi ezingu-4.8 ngo-Ephreli kanye nemithamo ecishe ibe yizigidi ezingu-12.5 ngoMeyi. Idatha yekhomishini ikhombisa ukuthi izwe selikwazi ukunikeza imithamo eyizigidi eziyi-100 ezinsukwini eziyisithupha. Ochwepheshe nezikhulu bathi iChina, enabantu abayizigidigidi eziyi-1.41 ezwenikazi, idinga ukugoma cishe amaphesenti angama-80 abantu bayo bonke ukuze iqinisekise ukuthi ayinawo amasosha omzimba avikela leli gciwane. IBeijing, inhloko-dolobha, imemezele ngoLwesithathu ukuthi isigome ngokuphelele amaphesenti angama-80 abantu bayo abaneminyaka engu-18 noma ngaphezulu, noma abantu abayizigidi eziyi-15.6. Okwamanje, izwe lizame ukusiza ekulweni nobhubhane lomhlaba wonke. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, linikele ngemithi yokugoma emazweni angaphezu kuka-80 futhi lathumela imithamo emazweni angaphezu kuka-40. Sekukonke, imithi yokugoma engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-350 isihlinzekwe kwamanye amazwe, kusho izikhulu. Imithi yokugoma emibili yasekhaya - eyodwa evela ku-Sinopharm ephethwe nguhulumeni kanye nenye evela ku-Sinovac Biotech - ithole imvume yokusebenzisa okuphuthumayo evela ku-World Health Organisation, okuyisidingo sokujoyina uhlelo lokwabelana ngemithi yokugoma emhlabeni wonke lwe-COVAX.
