Morocco Cracks Down on Vaccine Line-Jumping as Officials Fired for Fraud
More than 48 hours after the launch of the national vaccination campaign, cases of fraud have already been reported. 8 non-priority people were vaccinated at the "Anoual" vaccination center in Taza, contrary to the recommendations of the Ministry of Health.
In a press release, the Ministry of Health stated that these people benefited from the vaccination even though they did not meet the conditions specifying the categories targeted by the first phase of the national vaccination operation.
This incident resulted in the dismissal of a deputy Caid in charge of the second administrative annex in Taza and an auxiliary authority. These sanctions are in addition to the suspension of the persons in charge of registration and control of the categories targeted by the vaccination operation at the "Anoual" center, the same document from the ministry specifies.
In addition, an investigation has been opened to elucidate the details of this act and determine its legal consequences.
