In recent weeks, the vaccination campaign has experienced a constant acceleration. With the arrival of aid from several countries: vaccines, hospital equipment, oxygen … and the mobilization of the army in support of health services, the number of people vaccinated is increasing at a rapid rate.
According to the latest figures, published yesterday by the Ministry of Health, the number of registrants on the national vaccination platform “EVAX” amounted to nearly six million (5,833,001), including about five million (4,976,655) received the first dose of vaccine. While 2 million 329 thousand are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Which represents about 18% of the total population.
It is expected to reach a rate of 50% of the population who will have received at least a single dose by the end of September.
Thus, Tunisia, which has often appeared at the bottom of the table, is currently in second place in Africa, with a total vaccination rate among the highest on the continent (18% as of August 22), behind Morocco with a rate of 32%.
