Registration will open on a secure website as soon as the vaccination of medical teams in all hospitals is completed, the sources said. Egypt received new shipments of the vaccine last week, the sources stated, and this will likely accelerate the vaccination of these priority groups. Vaccinations are still underway in chest and fever hospitals for medical teams nationwide, after the ministry completed vaccinations for workers in 22 isolation hospitals in 22 hospitals. The country is primarily using China’s Sinopharm vaccine, but will expand to using the UK’s AstraZeneca soon. The ministry’s website will soon be up and running for those who want a vaccine to register.
