Morocco is not yet ready to launch the vaccination campaign due to the unavailability of vaccines. This delay is justified by the slowness in their delivery by the laboratories with which the Kingdom has concluded the agreements.
While it is known to all that Morocco has turned to China for the Covid-19 vaccine, many Moroccans are not really reassured. They want to know the reasons for this choice and how the vaccination process is progressing.
Health Minister Khalid Ait Taleb said in a government meeting on Thursday that Morocco has ordered 65 million doses of the two vaccines it has identified for 25 million people.
The Directorate of Medicines and Pharmacy at the Moroccan Ministry of Health has just received all the documents concerning the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine against Covid-19 and the stages of the clinical trials carried out. From now on, the experts’ work begins to validate the data, a necessary step for the registration of the vaccine in Morocco and the authorization of its marketing.
In Morocco, things are becoming clearer for the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. The kingdom will receive a first batch of vaccines before the end of 2020.
For this winter season and particularly for the end-of-year holidays, the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) has concluded a flight agreement with Transavia and Air France. An opportunity to attract more tourists after the stoppage imposed by the Covid-19 crisis and to hope for a return to normal.
A few days before the start of the anti-Covid vaccination campaign, Morocco will conduct a full-scale simulation on Sunday, December 20, 2020.
New Year’s celebrations will not be able to be celebrated this year. Moroccan authorities have announced the maintenance of the curfew and the prohibition of all gatherings.
Before the commission of social sectors of the House of Representatives, the Minister of Health pointed out that young people under 18 are better protected by their immunity.
Faced with the various concerns raised by some Moroccans about the potential side effects of the anti-Covid vaccine, the technical and scientific committee has broken its silence. They wanted to put an end to the misinformation widely circulated on social networks.
Contrary to certain rumors, Morocco has not yet received any doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, said Health Minister Khalid Aït Taleb.
The competent services have gone all out for the effective launch of the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus in Tetouan and its entire region.
