Vaccination Campaign Launched in Palestinian Refugee Camps in Syria
Published : 20-01-2023
The Syrian Ministry of Health launched a widespread anti-coronavirus vaccination campaign starting on January 01 to January 26.
Vaccine doses will be made available to everyone, including Palestinian refugees, aged 18 or above.
Confirmed coronavirus cases have been increasingly reported in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria, at a time when residents have been launching cries for help over the absence of hygiene kit and medicines.
Over recent years, AGPS has warned that limited access to running water, pharmacies and medical facilities mean displacement camps in Syria are more susceptible to the spread of the highly infectious virus.
Displacement camps set up in northern Syria are especially vulnerable as most hospitals and medical facilities have been bombed, rendering them out of order.
