Libya launched its COVID-19 vaccination programme on Saturday after getting some 160,000 vaccine doses over the past week, with the prime minister receiving his jab on live television.
Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh called it a “blessed day” in the fight against COVID-19 after receiving his shot, without saying which vaccine he had been given. At least 100,000 of the doses that arrived this week were Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine.
