Plane with 500K vaccine doses coming from China: tweet

Santo Domingo.- Vice President Raquel Peña said Tuesday that a plane with 500,000 doses of vaccines took off from China to continue the vaccination process in the Dominican Republic.

“We announced that it just took off from China a plane with 500,000 doses of vaccines, which will arrive in our country tomorrow afternoon,” Peña tweeted.
