The vaccination pass comes into force on October 21 throughout the kingdom. Compulsory, it will allow its holder to access public, semi-public and private administrations, hotel and tourist establishments, restaurants, cafes, closed spaces, shops, sports halls and travel. “The government was waiting for the number of people who received the two doses of vaccine to exceed 70% of the target population to generalize the vaccination pass to several daily activities and access to public space. It is done. While the number of people fully vaccinated exceeded 21 million on October 18, the government announced (…) new measures relating to the fight against the pandemic, with the obligation to present the vaccination pass for various activities “, explains Tel Quel.
The Moroccan authorities are also introducing a condition for the validity of the vaccination pass. If at the end of six months after the second dose of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine, the holder is not vaccinated again, he will become “obsolete”, said the Minister of Health and Social Protection, Khalid Aït Taleb (Video in Arabic).
The Moroccan Minister of Health does not rule out a new epidemic wave and calls for accelerating vaccination. “We are close to achieving collective immunity at the national level. However, is this sufficient? Morocco is not isolated from the rest of the world and there is an inequality in the distribution of vaccines internationally.“he said.
Since the start of the epidemic on March 2, 2020, Morocco has recorded more than 942,000 cases including 14,566 deaths.
