Morocco is currently preparing for covid-19 mass vaccination. Earlier this month, Morocco’s government announced the purchase of 27 million doses of the Chinese Sinopharma and AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccines.
The government also said that the campaign will be short, not exceeding three months, and aims to vaccinate at least 25 million people. This number amounts to 80% of the Moroccan population, which the government hopes will help achieve herd immunity.
