Morocco received Friday morning the first shipment of 700 000 doses of the Pfizer anti-covid-19 vaccine, according to Hespress sources close to the delivery, but who were not permitted to speak by their job.

The shipment is the first of 1.8 million doses that Morocco is set to receive, after the country reached an agreement with the pharmaceuticals company.

The new shipment will reinforce the kingdom’s national vaccine stock as it races to fight the latest Covid-19 outbreak, with the country recording record numbers in new cases as well as deaths.

According to the ministry of health, as of Thursday, 16 034 986 people received one shot of the Covid-19 vaccine, while 11 299 174 of the population were fully inoculated.
