1. According to the UNICEF COVID-19 Vaccine Market Dashboard, the price of a single Sinopharm/Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine dose is $18 (https://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DCD/DAC/STAT(2022)33&docLanguage=En). As such, AidData has estimated the monetary value of the June 2021 donation from the Tibet Autonomous Regional Government as $3.6 million.
