Morocco received an additional shipment of 270,000 doses of the American Pfizer vaccine on Saturday.

The shipment carrying the vaccine arrived on board a DHL plane that boarded from Paris before landing in Morocco, an informed source told Hespress.

The new shipment will strengthen Morocco’s national vaccine stock, in order to further expand its national vaccination campaign and enable more people to receive jabs.

According to the ministry of health’s latest tally, Morocco has fully vaccinated 20,869,902 people, while 23,218,100 people received their first shot.

The Kingdom also decided to begin administering a third booster dose in an effort to achieve herd immunity against the coronavirus.

As of Friday, 625,088 people benefited from the booster shot.
