Morocco has received a total of 54 million Covid-19 vaccine doses since the beginning of the pandemic, accounting for Sinopharm, Pfizer and the American Johnson & Johnson, Hespress sources revealed.
While the kingdom has been able to fully vaccinate more than 18 million people so far, 8 million people from the targeted age groups have yet to receive their shots, the same source added.
Member of the Covid-19 vaccination scientific committee Said Afif told Hespress that many youths remain unconvinced by the vaccine’s efficacy.
He called on Moroccans to head to their vaccination centers to get inoculated, as “vaccination and respect for health measures are the key to the success of the vaccination process and achieving herd immunity.”
With the extension of the national vaccination campaign to include students aged 12 to 17, Morocco has been making headway in the vaccination campaign.
Hespress sources indicate that 54 percent of the vaccinated students went with the Pfizer vaccine, while the remaining 46 percent chose Sinopharm.
Over 40 million vaccine doses have been administered so far, with almost 50 percent of the population fully vaccinated.
