Morocco received on Thursday morning, an additional shipment of the Chinese Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine.
The shipment consists of 5 million additional doses delivered to the kingdom as part of its agreement with the Chinese pharmaceutical company.
The new shipment will reinforce the kingdom’s national vaccine stock as it continues to expand its vaccination campaign to achieve mass immunization against the coronavirus.
Morocco has approved the use of 3 vaccines so far, namely Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, and most recently, Pfizer BioNTech. The kingdom is also preparing to begin manufacturing the Sinopharm vaccine locally.
The country has recently received its third shipment of the Pfizer vaccine, initially intended for use on teenagers aged 12 to 17. However, Morocco has also begun inoculating adults using this vaccine on Monday.
According to the latest tally by the ministry of health, Morocco has administered a total of 36.3 million doses so far, with 44.9% of the population fully vaccinated.
