Have you gotten vaccinated(接种疫苗的)? This question has become a common way to greet each other in China since the country COVID-19 vaccinations rolled out(推出) successfully in December 2020.
China has also provided vaccines for other countries. It has sent COVID-19 vaccines to 28countries and provided help to 69 countries in need, Xinhua reported. Most of these countries are developing countries, such as Pakistan, Mexico and Mongolia.
The leaders of these countries are taking the lead in getting vaccinated, including Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. According to the World Bank, small and medium-sized developing countries are likely to lag behind larger developing and developed countries by a year in yaccinating their people. Some richer countries have already had enough vaccines for their own people.
For countries that have not yet developed or gotten a vaccine, China may be the only way to solve their problems. China is one of the few countries that developed vaccines. China has joined COVAX (新冠疫苗实施计划) which is organized by the World Health Organization, to make sure that all members get the vaccine in the future. China has decided to offer 10 million vaccines to COVAX, Xinhua reported.
