Luanda - At least 9.8 million people were vaccinated across the country, since the beginning of the process in March 2020, the National Director of Public Health, Helga Freitas said Friday in Luanda.
The official, who was speaking during the meeting of the Multi-sectorial Commission for the Prevention and Fight against Covid-19, led by its coordinator, Francisco Pereira Furtado, pointed out that 6.6 million people with the first dose and 3.2 million people with complete doses.
According to Helga Freitas this result is fruit of the country having received about 21.7 million vaccine doses, of which 10 million acquired by the Government, 10 million received through the Covax initiative and one million doses of bilateral donations.
She stressed that this mobilization of vaccines has been possible due to the country's performance and the creation of cold chain conditions.
