Egypt to text people to receive booster shot
Iraq and Israel have also begun administering booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Egyptian health authorities plan to start texting at-risk individuals to receive the COVID-19 vaccine booster.
The Health Ministry announced last night that it will send via text information on setting up an appointment to receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. People whose work or health situations put them at risk of contracting the coronavirus will receive the messages, providing they received their last dose more than six months ago. More than 4 million Egyptians are eligible for a booster dose, the state-owned news outlet Al-Ahram reported today.
