health ministry nearly 500000 people signed up for the vaccine now that's a low number because that is nearly just 10 percent of the population and if you don't get the 80 percent enough chelated then you're not going to reach herd immunity also the age structure in this country 20 percent of the population are children which means they cannot be vaccinated so every adult needs to be vaccinated in order for herd immunity to be achieved and then there's the problem of supplies the government the lebanese government did not reserve enough for those says for the population only half the amount has been reserved and they were late and it's a competitive markets they've also opened the possibility of the private sector trying to procure vaccines but like i mentioned it is a competitive markets and another problem lebanon is facing is funding the

government is cash strapped in fact this vaccination rollout is being paid for by the world bank and also you have the question of $250000.00 migrant workers who is going to pay for them the government says it doesn't have enough funds to pay for these workers and lebanon is also home to 1500000 syrian and palestinian refugees so as you can see that there are a lot of child. says this this battle really is far from over even though many are welcoming this as the beginning of the end of the pandemic ok's and i thank you so much reporting from the vaccination center in beirut lebanon zimbabwe says it will begin its covert 1000 inoculation drive next week after receiving its 1st shipment of vaccines 200000 doses of china cinna farm vaccine donated by beijing have now
