According to the latest tally by the ministry of health, Morocco has fully vaccinated 20,908,945 people, while 23,230,919 received their first shot of the vaccine.

As for the booster shot, it has been administered to 644,722 people as of Saturday. Morocco continues to bet on its national vaccination campaign, in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
