This was disclosed by Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony yesterday  during his COVID-19 update where he stated that as a result, the country now has more Sinopharm shots for both first and second doses. Earlier in June, Anthony had announced that the government had ordered 100,000 doses of the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccines at a cost of about US$15 per dose.
