Vaccination rates in Morocco increased by 10 fold within a week, as unvaccinated populations race to get vaccine passes that are made mandatory to access public spaces and travel.
On Saturday, October 24 health officials administered 236,328 jabs of various doses, compared to the 71,496 injections given on Saturday, October 16.
The total number of jabs received by Moroccans since the beginning of the vaccination campaign reached 45 million, as the country continues to stock up on vaccines, aiming to achieve higher levels of vaccination ahead of the winter season.
The heavy turnout of unvaccinated individuals in various cities led to overcrowding in a number of health units, coinciding with the entry into force of the government’s decision to impose vaccine passes.
Many public, semi-public and private institutions have begun mandating their users and employees to provide vaccine proof to access their facilities.
The day you chose from last week was particularly low—the previous day was 408,860. There’s no sign yet that the rate of vaccinations has increased. This week 1.23m doses administered, previous week 1.54m doses, week before 1.30m.
