Large-scale informative measures were used to inform people about the campaign.<\/p>\n

Initially, only 1,500 vaccine doses were planned for the Bossemb\u00e9l\u00e9 district. However, the response from the public was so great that an additional 1,000 doses were made available.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,559 men and women were vaccinated at Cap Anamur Hospital. Vaccination priority 1 here is 50+, as the average age in the country is 53. Therefore, we also vaccinated significantly more people under the age of 50 during the campaign.<\/p>\n

In our outposts in Boali and Yaloke, we carried out the campaign just as successfully. Here, we were able to vaccinate a total of 1,195 people.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”101096″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”113556″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”194656″]<\/p>\n

The numbers of vaccine doses available are low compared to those in Europe.<\/h5>\n

To date, only 80,000 vaccine doses have been provided to the Central African Republic from the COVAX international aid program. With a total population of 4.83 million, this means that only 1.65% of the population can be vaccinated.<\/p>\n

However, another 500,000 vaccine doses are to be delivered for the country. Unfortunately it is yet unknown when this will happen.<\/p>\n

Cap Anamur will then again take care of the implementation of the urgently needed vaccinations at the Bossemb\u00e9l\u00e9 hospital.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”101097″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”144109″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/12″ uncode_shortcode_id=”936903″][vc_icon icon=”fa fa-film-play” size=”fa-4x” uncode_shortcode_id=”147173″][\/vc_icon][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”10\/12″ uncode_shortcode_id=”374272″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_size=”h5″ text_height=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”176916″]”COVAX Program in Central Africa”[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”0″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”146205″]You can see a report in ZDF heute about the current vaccination campaign here![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”0″][vc_button button_color=”accent” size=”link” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdf.de%2Fnachrichten%2Fheute-19-uhr%2Fzentralafrikanische-republik-covid-impfungen-video-100.html|target:_blank|” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” icon=”fa fa-angle-right” uncode_shortcode_id=”189083″]Watch here[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
