The Sinopharm vaccines are provided free to the chambers’ members, staff and their immediate families irrespective of their nationality or status, thanks to the sponsorship of VTP Group. “VTP not only makes possible the free vaccinations to our communities, they have also spearheaded the co-ordination of the vaccination at the community level,” says a spokesperson of the chambers. “We are extending our gratitude to all the attending medical professionals and volunteers for the three action-packed days where many benefited”.
