Morocco on Wednesday authorised for emergency use the
coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of
Oxford, the health ministry said.
The North African nation, with some 35 million people, has
recorded over 447,000 Covid-19 cases including 7,618 deaths,
according to the latest official count.

The government says it has ordered 65 million doses of
AstraZeneca’s vaccines as well as from the Chinese firm
Sinopharm.
It says preparations for rolling out the vaccine are “very
advanced” but has not given a date for injections to start.
The authorities re-imposed a nationwide curfew and other
restrictive measures on December 21 in a bid to slow the spread of
the virus.
