Dr Abdel Menoim Selim and nurse Ahmed Hamdan Zayed, the first two Egyptians to receive Chinese Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine, arrive to a news conference inside a tent set up outside the Abou Khalifa hospital in Ismailia, Egypt January 24, 2021. — Reuters
Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country with over 100 million people, received its first batch of the vaccine in December. “All healthcare workers will receive it for free, it’s their right,” Zayed told a press conference at Abu Khalifa Hospital in the northeastern city of Ismailia.People with chronic diseases and the elderly will be next in line for the jab, but the minister said citizens “who have the means should pay for the vaccine” in the coming months.Health officials have warned that low testing rates mean the real number could be at least 10 times higher.
Earlier this month, the minister said Egypt would receive 40 million doses, mostly of the AstraZeneca/Oxford jab, via the Gavi vaccine alliance, with the aim of inoculating 20 per cent of its population.
