  • Establishment of a work team formed of armed forces, security and health personnel, under the supervision of the Director-General of Military Health, in order to enhance vaccination operations
  • Medical and paramedical personnel, having earned their diploma during the last three years, are called upon to answer to the national service. Those affected should contact the nearest regional centres for their mobilization
  • Launch of the distribution of field teams in priority regions in terms of the spread of infection, to begin vaccination operations. This action will begin in Tataouine Governorate, given that the region is undergoing a large spread of the pandemic.
