Morocco received Saturday morning a shipment of 950,000 doses of the Pfizer anti-covid-19 vaccine, according to Hespress sources close to the delivery.

The country had received the first shipment of 700 000 doses of the Pfizer last week, part of 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.

Morocco had previously signed deals with manufacturers AstraZeneca and Sinopharm to secure the country’s access to Covid-19 vaccines.

The kingdom also recently announced that it will be manufacturing Sinopharm’s vaccine locally.
