SAPM on Health Dr Faisal Sultan has expressed confidence in the government's ability to procure at least one million doses of coronavirus vaccines by March, saying it ultimately aims to inoculate 70 per cent of the country's population against the virus.
"The overall status is that we hope to be able to provide one million doses of the vaccine in the first quarter of the year that ends on March 31. We believe that we will obtain more vaccines," he told a press conference.
"The vaccine has been approved only for those above 18 years old. We think we can achieve immunity if we provide the vaccine to 70pc of our [vaccinable] population."
