Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The national ministry of health is planning to launch a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign targeting 2.4 million adults.<\/p>\n

The campaign aims to meet the global target while also protecting and boosting citizens\u2019 immune systems in the face of rising COVID-19 cases in China.<\/p>\n

It is expected to kick off on January 28 in Juba.<\/p>\n

PHEOC\u2019s chief of planning, Mabior Kiir said all the logistics have been put in place fo the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe target is 80 counties in South Sudan. We will be conducting the countrywide vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of those counties are well organised so we will begin on January 24, and those that are not organised [we] will [focus] on January 25,\u201d said Mabor.<\/p>\n

He stated that the campaign would take eight to 10 days, although the Ministry of Health had recommended seven days.<\/p>\n

He said for those who may not make it, especially in the counties, a day would be added to accommodate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, South Sudan has managed to vaccinate 16.4 percent of the total population, which amounts to 2.2 million people aged 18 and above,\u201d Mabor said.<\/p>\n

According to Worldometer\u2014the most recent United Nations data\u2014South Sudan\u2019s current population was 11,528.467 as of Sunday, January 22, 2023.<\/p>\n

Mabor said, the total number of adults in the country aged 18 and above accounts for 36.65 percent of the total population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Health and key partners will continue to engage the civil population to ensure that they accept the vaccine with the effort put in by the WHO and UNICEF,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s total number of COVID-19 tests performed to date is 485,901. The number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and the total number of cases confirmed to date is 18,420, with 167 cases under follow-up.<\/p>\n
