VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta is expected to reach herd immunity in its fight against the coronavirus in the coming weeks. This was confirmed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health Chris Fearne while addressing the Maltese parliament. Thus, the target date for herd immunity – which is expected to occur when 70% of the Maltese population is vaccination – has been moved forward. Originally expected to take place in September, this milestone is now set to be reached “in the coming weeks.”
Chris Fearne emphasised that Maltàs vaccination strategy was well ahead of schedule. He revealed that registration for the Covid-19 vaccine is set to be opened to everyone aged 16 and up later this month. 70% would soon receive at least the first dose of the vaccine, Fearne recalled, emphasising that this also offered a measure of protection.
