"Over 100,000 COVID-19 vaccines departed today from Warsaw to Cairo," the Polish foreign ministry said in a tweet in English on Wednesday.
"The donation of vaccines to Egypt is an expression of solidarity with an important Polish partner in North Africa," it added.
Earlier this month, Poland shipped over 400,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to Taiwan.
The Polish foreign ministry said at the time that "depending on the epidemiological situation across the world, humanitarian needs, as well as our capacities and supplies, in the future we may donate more vaccine batches to other foreign partners in need, guided by the principle of solidarity, which is the cornerstone of the Polish government’s domestic and international policies."
Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison in mid-August thanked Poland for sharing 1 million doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines with his country "on a not-for-profit basis."
The Polish prime minister’s top aide, Michał Dworczyk, said last month that the country had agreed to share its COVID-19 vaccine surplus with countries including Spain, Portugal, Norway and Ukraine.
