Three million Moroccan students have begun taking Covid-19 vaccines on Tuesday, including public and private education teachers and foreign mission schools.

420 vaccination centers opened across the country to receive students aged 12 to 17, giving parents the choice to jab their children with either Sinopharma and Pfizer, Aziz Nahia, Director of Cooperation and Promotion of Private School Education told Hespress.

The spokesperson stated that each center accommodates more than 500 students and more each day.

The ministry of education is requiring that students be fully vaccinated or classrooms be limited to 20 students for schools to have a full presence during the upcoming school season.

The ministry mandated education institutions to alternate between physical classes and virtual learning in cases where the school is unable to guarantee social distancing between students, according to a statement seen by Hespress.

Parents are able to opt for virtual learning modes in cases of outbreaks within school premises, said the statement.
