Whilst alleging that leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa has been given the Pfizer vaccine, government MP Samapth Athukorala today questioned as to how he got that particular vaccine when it is not being used in Sri Lanka as yet.
“We were made to understand that Mr. Premadasa was given the Pfizer vaccine. All MPs were given only Astrazeneca vaccine, Pfizer has not been used in Sri Lanka as yet. Therefore we wonder how the Leader of Opposition got it,” Mr. Athukorala queried.
Mr. Premadasa did mention in his facebook page that he got the vaccine but did not mention the brand he was administered with.
“Under the strict instructions of doctors who treated me for COVID, I proceeded to get vaccinated today. Doctors strongly warned me that failure to get vaccinated may result in a recurrence of COVID which may be fatal. In the context of my present health condition, I acceded to their directive,” he said in his facebook account further.
