Half of the doses will be of the US-manufactured Pfizer
vaccine, while the other half will be of the Chinese-manufactured Sinopharm
vaccine, Bilbisi added.
“We have never before been this well-stocked on the
vaccine,” Bilbisi explained, and pointed out that “we are now only missing
(greater) turnout from citizens to get vaccinated.”
The ministry official said that Jordan received more than
200,000 Pfizer jobs on May 16 and is set to receive 200,000 Sinopharm jabs this
Friday, May 21.
He noted that some 1.976 million people have registered on
the Ministry of Health’s vaccination platform and that 976,000, and 383,000
people have received the first and second doses of the COVID vaccine,
