Gavi will provide doses covering 20% of the country\u2019s needs, and will largely supply Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines, she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re also signing an agreement with AstraZeneca to purchase the Oxford jab directly <\/strong>once the pharma regulator greenlights it for emergency use, which is expected to happen in about a week\u2019s time, Zayed said. The British company will supply 40 mn doses, enough for 20 mn people, the minister told El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib last night (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1tOlXvcLt3A\">watch, runtime: 2:03<\/a>). The minister said <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a2d8e6eb-a834-4940-b3d6-a56c1dab880a\">last week<\/a> that the first shipment of the jabs will arrive by the third or fourth week of this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More shipments of vaccines from Sinopharm, meanwhile, will arrive \u201cwithin days,\u201d <\/strong>the minister added. Egypt received the first shipment of vaccines from the Chinese company in December, but reports later in the month <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a2d8e6eb-a834-4940-b3d6-a56c1dab880a\">had suggested<\/a> further shipments faced delays of supply chain issues in China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This will allow the government to start the vaccination program at the beginning of February<\/strong>, Zayed told Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi last night <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lLbra88kmxM\">(watch, runtime: 33:04)<\/a>. Healthcare workers and the country\u2019s most vulnerable citizens will be first in line for the vaccine when the program eventually gets up and running.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily cases fall again:<\/strong> The Health Ministry <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2MVvlWR\">reported<\/a> 961 new covid-19 infections yesterday, down from 993 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 150,753 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 52 new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 8249.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COVID AROUND GLOBE-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lebanon has declared a state of emergency and will impose a 24-hour curfew for 11<\/strong> <strong>days.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2LF7Ssf\">Lebanese media report<\/a> that the emergency measures will come into force this Thursday and end on 25 January, and come in response to rapidly rising cases. The country has so far reported <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\">more than 222k cases<\/a> and some 1.6k deaths.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vaccine makers are readying themselves for inevitable future mutations of <\/strong><strong>covid-19<\/strong> in the event a strain develops that does not respond to currently available inoculations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a67d1c2e-9963-4fd0-9ba6-dc677f68a216\">Financial Times<\/a> reports. Vaccines that rely on mRNA technology like Oxford\/AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson are well positioned to be tweaked, and scientists could have new vaccines ready within three to six months, while variants of protein-based vaccines could take up to 9 months to be developed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The BioNTech \/ Pfizer vax looks to be effective against the latest strains of the virus:<\/strong> The jab was found by Pfizer in a study to work against the recent mutations discovered in the UK and South Africa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/health-coronavirus-pfizer-vaccine\/pfizer-biontech-vaccine-appears-effective-against-mutation-in-new-coronavirus-variants-study-idUSL1N2JI2LZ\">Reuters<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BioNTech and Pfizer plan to boost their vaccine output goal for this year by more<\/strong> <strong>than 50%<\/strong>, pledging to make 2 bn doses of their jab, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-01-11\/pfizer-biontech-boost-covid-vaccine-target-to-2-billion-doses?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a>. The companies had previously expected to make 1.3 bn doses, but now plan to enlist more contract manufacturers to help out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making covid-19 vaccinations a prerequisite for travel is not sitting well with the<\/strong><strong> World Travel and Tourism Council<\/strong>, whose CEO Gloria Guevara said at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/health-coronavirus-global-vaccines\/reuters-next-travel-body-rejects-compulsory-covid-19-shots-experts-say-herd-immunity-distant-idUSL1N2JM0N8\">Reuters<\/a> panel yesterday is akin to workplace discrimination. Guevara\u2019s opinion was not popular among the rest of panel participants, however, even as scientists indicate that herd immunity is still a distant milestone as countries see staggered vaccination rollouts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>China is finally allowing the World Health Organization (WHO) to investigate the <\/strong><strong>origins of covid-19<\/strong>, with WHO experts to start their mission on Thursday in Wuhan alongside Chinese scientists, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/china-allows-who-experts-in-to-investigate-covid-19-origins-11610343106?mod=hp_lead_pos6\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.
