The vaccination campaign covers people aged 18 years and older, including pregnant or postpartum women, and is being carried out in 21 hospitals, 852 medical centers, and 368 mobile teams.

The country reported a maximum of three Covid-19 cases daily, and no deaths were registered in the last three months.
