The Egyptian Health and Population Ministry on Sunday officially launched a website allowing citizens wishing to receive COVID-19 vaccine to register. The website comes in conjunction with the start of the state’s campaign to vaccinate medical teams with the first dose of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine. The ministry said last month that targeted groups will be registered to receive the vaccine, through an online application dedicated to registration. This system, linked to a specific operating system, includes medical staff in isolation, fever and chest hospitals in its first stage. Health Ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed explained that the vaccine will be provided to citizens according to their priority, based on the recommendations of the Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus.
