Abu Dhabi: Saudi Arabia has administered more than 19 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine, the Ministry of Health said.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Mohammad Al Abdali, said earlier that reaching the immunisation of 70 per cent of Saudi Arabia’s population with the vaccine against COVID-19 means that the pandemic has been overcome, and that it will become something of the past.
US science officials such as Anthony Fauci have suggested it will take 70 per cent to 85 per cent coverage of the population with a two-dose vaccine for things to return to normal.
Expectations about when life might return to something like a ‘pre-COVID normal’ vary widely across the globe, according to a new World Economic Forum-Ipsos survey.
