Morocco has launched a campaign to administer Covid-19 vaccines to children from 12 to 17, becoming one of the first African countries to inoculate that age group.
The World Health Organisation says that the North African country has already given around 33 million doses to adults this year. Now, Morocco is focusing its efforts to vaccinate younger people.
Parental authorisation is required and vaccination isn’t mandatory. But those who don’t want to vaccinate their children will have to follow a distance education program and their kids won’t legally be allowed to attend school in person, according to an AP report.
