Making an appeal to Australian Federal Government to donate 550,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is currently facing a shortage of AstraZeneca vaccines to administer as the second dose for the people who already had their first dose. They are running out of time as the optimum recommended time period to have the second dose has passed or is getting close.

As per the recent reports, about 550,000 doses are needed urgently.

Many Sri Lankan community organizations have come together to make this appeal to the Federal Government of Australia, to donate the required vaccine doses.

A common letter will be drafted representing these organizations, addressed to the Hon. Prime Minister and the Minister of Customs, Community Safety, and Multicultural Affairs, (through Asst. Minister Mr. Jason Wood) and other relevant authorities.

As Sri Lankans, let’s join in to form a united front and put together one strong request.

We sincerely appeal to all Sri Lankans living in Australia, to support this appeal so that we can make an impact on the collective request.

Due to the urgency of the situation, we hope to submit the letter to the Hon. Prime Minister by the 15th of July 2021. Please sign this appeal and share it with others.

If you are a part of any Sri Lankan community organization, please contact us to support this worthy cause.
