Johns Hopkins University announced on Wednesday that more than 258.7 million people were infected with Coronavirus worldwide.

Noteworthy, Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population said in a post on its official page on “Facebook” that the Coronavirus vaccine is safe, effective, and stimulates the immune system to form antibodies that protect the body from the virus.

Egypt’s vaccination campaign began in January with priority groups and later expanded to university students. Registration for the jab is open to all.

The peak of COVID-19 infections in Egypt is expected to decline in the second half of this November, Hossam Hosny, head of the Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus at the Ministry of Health confirmed.

 

In press statements, Hosny added that the state provides 8 types of approved and effective vaccines, stressing that vaccination does not prevent infection with the virus, but rather reduces the risk of infection.
