Morocco’s Health Ministry Urges Unvaccinated to Get COVID-19 Shots as Campaign Slows

The pace of the national vaccination campaign launched at the end of January must change to allow Morocco to initiate a return to normal life. In the press release issued on Saturday, October 16, the Ministry of Health invites all people aged 12 and over, targeted by this large-scale operation, to participate in this national process by going to the nearest vaccination center, regardless of the home address, to receive the first or second Covid-19 vaccine.

Similarly, the ministry invites the elderly and those with chronic diseases and serious pathologies who have received the two vaccine doses for more than 6 months, to come forward to receive their third dose. The aim is to strengthen their immunity against Covid-19 and to prevent complications in case of contamination.

As of October 16, 23,230,919 million people have received the first injection, 20,908,945 million have a complete vaccination schedule (first and second dose). 644,722 people have received the third dose.
