The Moroccan government has decided to adjust its supply strategy for COVID-19 vaccines and defer deliveries to later dates, due to the slow pace of the national vaccination campaign, according to Hespress EN sources.
The rate of vaccination in Morocco has decreased significantly for all doses and across most age groups. As of today, 4.5 million people remain unvaccinated.
According to data obtained by Hespress EN, only 500 Moroccans got vaccinated this Saturday.
Sources told Hespress EN that the Moroccan government has therefore decided to adjust its vaccine supply strategy, delaying multiple deliveries to avoid expiration.
Morocco’s vaccine orders and secured shipments have been made public since the beginning of the national vaccination campaign. The country therefore still has a comfortable stock of vaccine doses to complete the vaccination of the remaining citizens, which was confirmed by our source.
The same source told Hespress EN that Morocco still has a comfortable stock of 13 million vaccine doses, 4.5 million doses are remaining of the Sinopharm vaccine, while 3.6 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine are available.
In addition, the international program for vaccine aid COVAX, delivered 4.2 million doses of various vaccines to Morocco. 1.3 million doses of Sinopharm, 850,590 doses of Pfizer, 1.72 million doses of Astrazeneca, and 302,700 doses from Janssen have been recorded.
According to the UNICEF platform, Morocco still has an upcoming allocation of nearly 17 million doses.
The low turnout is worrying doctors and health specialists in the country, considering the emergence of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron.
