Adults will be able to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in the upcoming days, member of the scientific committee on vaccination Moulay Said Afif told Hespress English today.

“It is possible now for adults to receive Pfizer shots, not only Sinopharm and AstraZeneca,” he added.

​​”A new shipment of 680,000 doses of Pfizer- BioNTech vaccine is expected on Saturday, September 11,” he continued.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was set at first only for teens aged 12 to 17, following the Ministry of National Education’s decision in order to ensure a safe return to schools.

The Pfizer vaccine is the 4th anti-COVID-19 vaccine that Morocco was able to receive, after Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, and Janssen.

Pfizer is recognized internationally and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Pfizer BioNTech’s vaccine is proven 95% effective against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. “
