Kuwait aims to vaccinate 80% of its population against Covid-19 by September next year after starting an inoculation campaign last week with the shot developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, a Health Ministry official said.

As of Monday, 2,500 people were vaccinated and second doses will be administered from Jan. 14, said Dr. Ghada Ebrahim, director for public relations and media at Kuwait’s Health Ministry. The prime minister was the first to receive the vaccine on December 24, “to encourage people to register online and vaccinate,” she said.
