A total of 25,008,230 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine has been administered through the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (NIP) as of yesterday, said Health Minister Dr Adham Baba.
In an infographic shared on his Twitter, he said of the total, 15,959,596 individuals received their first dose while 9,048,634 people got their second dose.
“In terms of percentage, 68.2 percent of the country’s population has received the first dose of the vaccine, while 38.7 percent has completed both doses of the vaccination,” he added.
On the daily vaccination rate, Adham said 465,793 doses were administered yesterday, with 187,495 as the first dose and 278,298 as the second dose.
The NIP was launched on Feb 24 to contain the Covid-19 pandemic which hit the country early last year.
