Young teens aged 12 to 17 will soon be able to receive anti-COVID-19 jabs, member of the scientific committee on vaccination Moulay Said Afif told Hespress English today.
Those young teens will receive Pfizer and Sinopharm vaccines starting August 23 in order to drive mass immunization and limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The spike in new cases comes with the emergence of the Delta variant, one month ahead of schools and universities preparing to open for fall classes.
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 Ministry of National Education previously called on students to go to the nearest vaccination center to get their vaccine shots done for the same purpose.
