Over 86% of the Chinese population have received the complete COVID-19 dose, according to official data released this Saturday by the National Health Committee.
As of yesterday, China had administrated the complete doses to over 1,220 million people, or 86.4% of the total 1,412 million population, according to the spokesperson of China’s National Health Commission, Mi Feng.
The head of China’s Covid-19 control team, epidemiologist Zhong Nanshan, indicated last year that herd immunity will not be reached until 83.3% of the population is fully vaccinated.
The National Health Committee announced also this Saturday that it had detected 165 new COVID-19 infections in the past 24 hours, including 104 cases as a result of local infection.
Additionally, 104,745 people have been infected with the COVID-19 in the Asian country since the pandemic began, in which 96,658 of them have recovered, while 4,636 people have died.
Since the start of the pandemic, the Chinese authorities have adopted a “zero Covid” strategy, in a move to limit the number of new cases as much as possible.
