This country sent a "letter of thanks" to China's vaccine

"Two years ago, as soon as China Kexing's new crown vaccine arrived here, most of our medical staff immediately vaccinated it." Dominican doctor Lorena Hernandez recently recalled to reporters at a clinic in the old town of Santo Domingo, the capital. Recalling his own experience in fighting the epidemic, he said, "Thanks to the timely arrival of the Chinese vaccine, I have protected myself and my family, and I have taken better care of patients."

Hernandez is one of millions of Dominicans who have benefited from China's new crown vaccine. Time goes back to the beginning of 2021. The République Dominicaine’s new crown epidemic spread rapidly. In the face of tight global vaccine supply, China facilitated the purchase of vaccines by multiple parties and donated vaccines and other materials to multiple parties.

On February 23, 2021, the first batch of Sinovac's new crown vaccine purchased by Dominica from China arrived in Santo Domingo. Less than a month later, the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine assisted by the Chinese government to Dominica and the second batch of China Kexing COVID-19 vaccine purchased by Dominica arrived... As planes landed in the "first city in the Americas", the vaccines from China Bring hope to this Caribbean country.

Dominican Vice President Peña Peña has visited the airport many times to welcome Chinese vaccines, and even compared the arrival of Chinese vaccines to "the light at the end of the tunnel", thanking China for lending a helping hand in critical times.

In addition to vaccine cooperation, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Chinese government, enterprises and relevant institutions have also donated epidemic prevention materials to many parties. The two sides also held several video conferences to share anti-epidemic experience.

In order to thank China for its support to Dominica in fighting the epidemic and the cooperation between China and Dominica in fighting the epidemic, the Dominican Senate commended China on the 2nd of this month. On behalf of the Chinese government, Zhang Run, the Chinese ambassador to Dominica, accepted the certificate of commendation issued by Dominican Vice President of the Senate Sorillia.

Zorilla said emotionally at the commendation ceremony that Dominica will never forget China's timely help in the difficult time of fighting the epidemic. The Dominican President, the House of Representatives and the entire people are grateful for this.

"I have received two doses of Chinese vaccines myself, and my family members have also received Chinese vaccines." Zorilla told reporters that China upholds the concept of vaccines as a global public product, bringing hope to the Dominican people and helping Dominicans do their best. Possible return to normal life.

"When the world was shrouded in darkness by the epidemic, China stood up and demonstrated the spirit of solidarity and cooperation with practical actions." Senator Lourenco said. As the sponsor of the motion to commend China, he recalled that the motion received unanimous support from members of various parties immediately after it was put forward, reflecting the common aspiration of everyone to thank China.

"I will also teach my children to be grateful and responsible," Lorenzo said.
