An Egyptian Health Ministry website allowing people to register for the coronavirus vaccine trial has gone live, covering 27 centers nationwide and providing information on the vaccine, which groups will receive it first and methods to obtain it. Those interested in registering must enter data that includes their current health condition and all requested medical reports. According to the ministry, 10,000 citizens so far have registered their data. It will initially be given to medical staff working in isolation and fever hospitals, and will also prioritize elderly citizens with chronic health diseases residing in care homes. And back in August, the state worked on preparing a vaccine production line and won praise from the World Health Organization.
