[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 1st, the Ministry of Unification announced that the international vaccine joint procurement project, 'COVAX Facility,' is expected to provide COVID-19 vaccines to North Korea later than initially anticipated.
An official from the Ministry of Unification responded on the same day regarding the expected timing of COVAX's vaccine provision to North Korea, stating, "I understand that discussions for vaccine support are still ongoing."
In March, COVAX allocated 1,992,000 doses of vaccines to North Korea and planned to deliver 1,704,000 doses by last month, but the vaccine provision has not yet taken place.
