 Morocco is set to  receive four and a half million doses of the American Pfizer vaccine in the next few days, sources close to the delivery told Hespress.

The first batch will include 800,000 doses, which the country will receive in the coming days. The rest will be delivered in accordance with vaccine availability.

On Sunday, the country received  five million doses of the Chinese Sinopharma vaccine.

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.

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.
