China has given complete doses of Covid-19 vaccines to about 75.6 per cent of its population as of Oct 23, National Health Commission spokesperson Mi Feng said.
Some 1.068 billion people have now been inoculated with the required dosages, out of a population of 1.412 billion, Mi told a news briefing.
The country has administered a total of 2.245 billion doses of vaccines as of Oct 23, official data showed.
China is giving people whose last dose was given at least six months ago a booster shot, with priority groups including essential workers, older people and those with weaker immune systems.
