CAIRO – Egyptian Presidential Advisor for Health Affairs Mohamed Tageddin has said the strong relationship binding President Abdel Fattah El Sisi with Chinese President Xi Jinping contributed to providing Egypt with good amounts of Covid-19 vaccines, part of which already arrived in Egypt as a gift from China while the other part has been bought at affordable prices.
In a telephone contact with ExtraNews TV channel Wednesday, Tageddin said contacts are being maintained with international organizations in charge of providing vaccines to world countries.
He said the state pays great attention to the vaccination file and diversifying the sources of the vaccines to get as much doses as it can for the inoculation of its people.
“We are in the third wave of Covid-19 infections where the number of infected people is on the rise,” the presidential advisor warned, calling on citizens to strictly abide by the precautionary measures including wearing masks to prevent the spread of the pathogen.
