Massive vaccination in Tunisia.

551,008 people over 40, hosted in 335 centers, were vaccinated Monday in the Maghreb country.

At 1 p.m., they were already 302,751 inhabitants to have received a dose of vaccine, according to the monitoring cell of the Ministry of Health.

This “open house” day was launched after having obtained more than six million doses from Arab and Western countries.

Late in its vaccination campaign, Tunisia has been hit hard by the Delta variant: since March, the number of deaths from Covid-19 has more than doubled, exceeding the 20,000 mark.

Have you seen such an atmosphere in a vaccination center?

In #Tunisia yes 😊😅

! The precious sesame becomes mandatory this Monday in restaurants, bars, long-distance trains, hospitals (except in emergencies), cinemas and theaters without minimum gauge, etc. As a reminder, you must either be fully vaccinated, or have had the Covid with a positive test between 6 months and 2 weeks earlier, or have a negative test carried out within 72 hours (and not 48% as initially planned) .
