A communication campaign concerning the vaccination operation against Covid-19 will take place soon to inform the public opinion and prevent the spread of fake news on social networks, said, on Friday in Rabat, Minister of Health Khalid Ait Taleb, affirming that the Moroccan citizen is among the first ones in the world to have access to the vaccine, thanks to the efforts and the proactive vision of HM King Mohammed VI.
In a statement following the meeting of the Technical and Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Program for the Prevention and Control of Influenza and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections which he chaired, Ait Taleb said the vaccine offers hope, while keeping in mind that the best sanitary arrangements must be made before the start of the vaccination campaign.
The vaccination program will be held amid this Covid-19 situation, it is therefore necessary to comply with barrier gestures, especially as immunity after vaccination can only be acquired weeks later, explained the Minister.
In addition, Ait Taleb said that this meeting was an opportunity to take stock of the epidemiological situation and to discuss the overcrowded health wards in regions where the situation is difficult.
In the Casablanca region, for example, there is a saturation of the health system with an occupancy rate of 68% of intensive care services, he noted, adding that it is necessary to make arrangements necessary to limit the increase in severe cases admitted to intensive care units.
He stressed that if the situation does not change, “lockdown will be automatic and compulsory”.
In this regard, the Minister recalled that the rapid spread of the virus requires a reduction in the movement of citizens who must understand the extent of the danger.
