Morocco received Friday a new shipment of 1 million doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine.

The shipment landed in Mohammed V international airport and was transported to Casablanca awaiting distribution.

The new shipment comes as Morocco received 700,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Friday morning in order to reinforce the country’s national stock.

Morocco is betting on the national anti-COVID-19 campaign to battle its newest Covid-19 outbreak, as the country has been reporting record-breaking daily numbers in terms of cases and deaths.

Teenagers aged 12 to 17 will be able to get inoculated starting August 23, according to Moulay Said Afif.
