These are 100,000 doses from China in a specially chartered charter with a team of medical experts on board. President Azali accompanied by members of the government came in person to receive this donation. The Chinese Ambassador to the Comoros recalled the need for available and affordable vaccines for all, including developing countries. The vaccination campaign will start in the coming days.
as reported from Moroni, Pioneers in the Kingdom
The vaccination target of the Minister of Health, Mrs Loub Yacout Zaïdou, is 60% of the population to consider an acceptable national threshold for protection against the virus, ie five times more doses than what the Chinese government is going to give to the Comoros.
So far, the profile of people to be vaccinated as a priority has not been identified. The Minister of Health developed different avenues taking into account the medical staff as well as the military. The vaccination campaign will only be launched after micro-planning and awareness raising of the population to hope to start in early April. Mrs Zaïdou reminded that this is not about AstraZeneca vaccine, at the center of an international controversy. Therefore, according to her, there is no reason to fear the special restraint of the Comoros.
During this vaccination delivery ceremony, President Azali Assoumani did not emphasize in his speech of thanks that it is in times of crisis that we recognize our true friends. With this donation, China is consolidating the ties between the two countries.
