At their head, the highest officials of the National Security of the Kingdom. Abdellatif Hammouchi, head of the Police and Domestic Intelligence Services, Mohamed Haramou, number one of the Royal Gendarmerie and Yassine Mansouri, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Services, have made themselves available to test the Chinese vaccine.
