Tunisia Witnessed High Turnout for Anti-COVID-19 Vaccination

Tunis - Tunisians turned out to vaccination centers in droves on Sunday to get inoculated against the coronavirus, amid a spread of the pandemic in the North African nation. The strong turnout comes in the wake of a move by Tunisian President Kais Saied to declare August 8 as a national day for vaccination in a nationwide campaign that aims to vaccinate 1 million Tunisians. On Monday, the Tunisian Presidency said it received six million COVID-19 doses from friendly countries to help stem the spread of the virus. In recent months, Tunisia suffered high infection rates amid political instability in the country.
