The Ministry of Health announced Saturday that it will be expanding the national anti-covid-19 vaccination campaign to 18-year-olds and over.
The decision comes as new Covid-19 infections in the North African countries soared, with an average of 10,000 cases recorded daily .
Morocco recently signed a deal with pharmaceutical Pfizer to acquire 1.8 million doses of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine, set to arrive next week, and received 700,00 of the jabs on Friday.
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. The ministry of education urged young people in a statement this Saturday to get vaccinated ahead of the school year.
