Egypt began vaccinating people with chronic diseases and the elderly, Reuters reported Thursday. More than 150,000 people have signed up to receive the vaccination since Sunday, according to the outlet.
The Egyptian government started administering COVID-19 vaccines to medical workers in January. Last week, the Health Ministry launched a website for citizens to register to receive their doses. The ministry sends them a time and location for their vaccination following the registration. The vaccine was free for medical staff, but costs $13 (200 Egyptian pounds) for others, the state-owned Al-Ahram news outlet reported.
