Morocco is expecting a shipment of 4.3 million doses of the anti-covid-19 Pfizer vaccine in the coming weeks.

Hespress sources indicate that the doses will arrive in separate batches, and will strengthen the kingdom’s vaccine stock in order to expand the national vaccination campaign.

Morocco has previously received 270,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday.

The kingdom began receiving Pfizer doses in early August after it reached an agreement with the manufacturers.

Pfizer is the 4th vaccine to be approved for use in Morocco, after Sinopharm, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.

The country continues to acquire new shipments of vaccine doses in an effort to maintain its national vaccination campaign and curb the spread of the Coronavirus.

According to the latest tally from the ministry of health, Morocco has fully vaccinated 21,068,973 people, while 23,292,456 received their first shot.

Additionally, as of Monday, 776,546 people received their third Covid-19 vaccine shot.
