Namibia will from Tuesday temporarily suspend administering first doses of Covid-19 vaccines as supplies run low, a health ministry memo seen by Reuters showed.
The memo said vaccine stocks had almost been depleted due to delays in the delivery of procured doses.
It said remaining doses of the AstraZeneca and Sinopharm vaccines should be reserved for people getting their second doses.
Out of Namibia's population of 2.5 million people, only around 116,000 have received a first dose of either the Sinopharm or AstraZeneca vaccine, while some 23,000 have received two vaccine doses.
