Afghanistan Begins Covid Vaccine Campaign Amid Surge In Violence

Doctors, security personnel, and journalists were among the first volunteers to receive doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine, donated earlier this month by India.

”Today, I congratulate the people of Afghanistan for the launch of the first stage of COVID-19 vaccine (drive) with 500,000 doses of vaccines. This is a big opportunity for the people of Afghanistan,” said Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as the first jabs were administered.

”We don’t expect any miracles, but let’s help this campaign to be implemented justly,” the country’s acting health minister Waheed Majroh added.
