The Ministry of Health approved on Friday evening the use of the vaccine developed by China’s Sinopharm against the new coronavirus. The approval was decided during a meeting of the commission in charge of urgently authorizing the use of vaccines in Morocco.

This decision is based on several weeks of examining the Chinese vaccine, on the basis of scientific data and the results provided by the laboratory, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Health.

With this authorization, the Health Ministry certifies the harmlessness of the vaccine as well as its effectiveness in generating lasting immunity against the new coronavirus, thus making it possible to limit the spread of the pandemic and to immunize a large part of the population.

This approval will remain valid for 12 months, the Ministry said.
