With the acceleration of the pace of vaccination programme against the Covid-19, the State of Qatar continues to fight the virus by implementing the largest vaccination campaign in its history for citizens and residents of the country, free of charge. The State of Qatar ranks among the top ten countries in the world, compared to its population, and it is also among the countries that have the lowest death rates in the world due to the quality and excellence of the health care system in the country. Nearly 9 out of 10 people over the age of 60 - which is the group most at risk of disease - received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine, while nearly 8 out of 10 people in this group got both doses. The number of vaccination doses that were given to citizens and residents of Qatar until mid-May 2021 exceeded two and a half million doses, while more than 1,170,000 people have received at least one dose of the vaccine so far, with about 35,000 doses during only 24 hours.
