The total estimated value allocated for the tender is 228,000TL plus VAT. The specifications related to the tender can be obtained from the Ministry of Health Equipment Branch against a receipt of 1000 TL plus VAT to be deposited at the Revenue and Tax Office cash desk.
North Cyprus is also waiting for supplies of the Chinese-produced Sinovac vaccines. According to a researcher at Sinovac, the vaccine only requires storage at normal fridge temperatures between 2-8 degrees C (36-46 F) and could remain stable for up to three years.
