reaching 66.5% and 42,034 people received the 4th injection, reaching the rate

implemented the first booster vaccination plan for this group with the rate of
2.2%, equivalent to 2,675 out of 121,499 children. The group of children from 5

the Ministry of Health and taking the basic dose for children from 5 to under
