The president of the national trade union college of private medical specialists (CSNMSP) and member of the scientific committee of vaccination, Moulay Said Afif, stressed that the two vaccines adopted in Morocco are effective against the new variants of the coronavirus, provided preventive measures are respected.
Sinopharm and AstraZeneca vaccines remain effective against new variants, including the British and Indian variants, Afif told MAP.
He highlighted the need to respect the preventive measures in place and speed up the vaccination campaign pace to achieve herd immunity.
Thanks to HM King Mohammed VI, Morocco has successfully concluded two agreements with Sinopharm and AstraZeneca to receive large quantities of vaccine doses and to inoculate targeted categories, in a first stage, before its generalization to all citizens, he pointed out.
This proactive action has contributed to the decrease in the number of deaths and the number of cases among the elderly and chronically ill and critical cases, Afif noted.
However, he warned against the consequences of the slackening witnessed among some people, recalling the Ministry of Health warnings on the matter.
He stated that the delta variant hotbeds recorded in Casablanca and Kenitra have been contained, thanks to the vigilance of officials of the ministries of Health and Interior.
The vaccination campaign is carried out in good circumstances, he said, stressing the need to comply with preventive measures.
