Lithuania announced on Wednesday that it will donate over 230,000 additional doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Taiwan, on top of the first 20,000 doses delivered to the self-ruled island since June.

A Sept. 22 official statement said the Lithuanian health ministry would allocate 235,900 vaccine doses to Taiwan in the next three weeks, helping the latter to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
