Morocco Ranks 20th Globally in COVID-19 Vaccination Progress, Administers Nearly 9 Million Doses

"Morocco is ranked 20th among countries with a high vaccination rate, thanks to a diversification of vaccine sources and early authorization of these serums, as well as the organization of the campaign and the upstream storage chain," says Statista, referring to the 8,914,956 doses administered since the start of the national vaccination campaign against the coronavirus.

Even before Statista’s ranking, the kingdom was praised by the World Health Organization for the success of this campaign, as it is among the 10 countries that have met the challenge of vaccination against Covid-19.

First in Africa, the country outperforms several European countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal and Greece.

In the Maghreb, the kingdom is at the top, far above Algeria which has inoculated a total of 75,000 doses, Tunisia 316,580 doses, Libya 15,821 doses, and Mauritania 8,122 doses.

According to Statista, the United States ranks first in the world for the most advanced countries in the process of immunizing its population. China, India and the European Union countries have also proven the performance of their vaccination systems. As for Great Britain, it has exceeded its initial objectives even before the set date.

It should also be noted that the International Monetary Fund has praised the efforts of the kingdom, particularly the success of the national immunization campaign of the Moroccan population.
