Obeidat : Jordan to start COVID vaccination on Wednesday
Jordan will receive late Saturday the first batch of China-UAE Sinopharm coronavirus vaccine and will Monday receive the first shipment of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, Minister of Health Natheer Obeidat announced Saturday.
Obeidat indicated that immunization with both vaccines will get underway as early as Wednesday targeting vulnerable groups, including the elderly with chronic diseases and frontline health workers.
The minister noted that the government had also agreed with the COVAX Initiative to procure COVID vaccines, adding that efforts are underway to buy more batches of the Sinopharm vaccine.
Furthermore, Obeidat revealed that the government had reached understandings with 'AstraZeneca' and 'Johnson & Johnson' to supply the Kingdom with coronavirus vaccines as soon as they are produced and granted emergency use status both globally and locally.
The minister and other top health officials will Sunday hold a press conference to outline the details of the national immunization program against the coronavirus disease.
