Tunisia- [Audio]30% absences from vaccination appointments: Jalila Ben Khelil expresses her dissatisfaction

Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, spokesperson for Coronavirus Scientific Commission Jalila Ben Khelil talked about the second national vaccination day which took place yesterday. ”1 million messages were sent. Only 600,000 people went to the vaccination centres and approximately 400,000 people were absent despite their enrollment on Evax and the availability of vaccines,” she said.

“We would have loved to receive more people to speed up the vaccination rate, ”she said. She added that the absenteeism percentage has reached 30%. Ben Khelil, therefore, called on citizens to participate massively in the vaccination campaign.
