Morocco’s national vaccination campaign continues as the Kingdom approaches fully vaccinating the target group defined in 30 million citizens, with only seven million left.

As of Sunday, more than 23 million Moroccans received the first dose of the vaccine, which is equivalent to 77 percent of the target group, while over 20 million citizens received the second dose, representing 69.8 percent.

The Kingdom has so far received 60,365,660 vaccine doses; including an additional five million shots that arrived on Sunday.

During the first week of administering the third dose in the kingdom, 181,700 people received their booster shots, 60 percent of which chose Pfizer, and 40 percent opted for Sinopharm.

Vaccination among citizens less than 25 years old remains the weakest, as the percentage of vaccinated people in this category barely exceeds 68 percent.

Experts believe that the Kingdom will move to the Green Zone at the international level in the coming days, with expectations of stabilizing the situation amid the success of the national vaccination campaign.
