4:25 AM MYT CAIRO, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Jordan s King Abdullah II on Thursday received the COVID-19 vaccine, respectively. Meanwhile, Iraq announced a ban on its citizens from travelling to 20 countries where a new coronavirus variant was found. Erdogan received his first dose of vaccine at a hospital in capital Ankara, as Turkey has started mass vaccination for COVID-19 after approving the emergency use of a vaccine developed by China s Sinovac Biotech. Unfortunately, there are negative campaigning (about vaccinations). But I believe that my nation with common sense will not give room to these. They will give the best answer with the vaccine, the president said, while calling political party leaders and lawmakers to urge people to endorse the vaccine.
