Since the start of the vaccination operation against the new coronavirus in Morocco, 24,603,530 people have been vaccinated (dose 1) as of Wednesday January 12, 2022 at 4:00 p.m., including 5,203 during the last 24 hours, we read in the daily bulletin of the Ministry of Health son the Covid-19 situation.
And to specify that since the start of the second inoculations, Friday February 19, 2021, the total number of people having taken their second dose of the vaccine has reached 22,991,266, including 7,685 this Wednesday.
In addition, 3,628,856 people have received the third dose of the booster to date, including 88,262 during the last 24 hours, the same source said.
Recall that HM King Mohammed VI had personally launched the first phase of the national vaccination campaign against Covid-19 on January 28, 2021.
Morocco aims to immunize more than 30 million inhabitants (66 million doses of vaccines ordered) free of charge, in order to reduce and then eliminate cases of contamination and deaths due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus, after the extension of vaccination to 18 years and over.
Likewise, a vast anti-Covid 19 vaccination operation for the benefit of students in the 12-17 year age group began on Tuesday, August 31, 2021, it should be remembered.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Health launched, on October 4, the first stage of the administration of the third dose of the anti-Covid vaccine. It concerns people who have received the first two doses for at least 6 months. This period of eligibility for the vaccine booster injection against Covid-19 was reduced, on December 29, to 4 months instead of 6 months. Target people are those who have completed a period of four months after receiving the second dose. The same goes for those who received the first dose of the “Johnson & Johnson” vaccine more than four months ago.
