Almost 65 million people have received COVID-19 jabs in China, a top Chinese public health official said on Monday.
“As of March 14, our country’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign has reached 64.98 million people,” Li Bin, Vice Director of China’s National Health Commission, said during a press conference.
Despite a speedy start in China’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign, the country’s vaccine roll-out slowed in recent weeks as Chinese citizens appeared to be less enthusiastic about taking a vaccine shot.
China’s success in containing domestic transmission of COVID-19 likely contributed to people’s hesitancy to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus, as many Chinese believe they do not face a high risk of becoming infected due to minimal local outbreaks.
