The shipments were transferred to the warehouses of the Government Strategic Reserves Agency, from where they will be distributed to pharmaceutical wholesalers and then to hospitals and vaccination sites across the country, state broadcaster TVP Info reported.
Two days earlier, Poland received around 204,000 doses of a coronavirus vaccine developed by US drug maker Moderna, Michał Kuczmierowski, head of the Government Strategic Reserves Agency, told the media.
In the middle of last week, Poland received 120,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in its first delivery from the US drug maker.
