Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene on Tuesday said he
will become the first person in the country to be vaccinated against
Covid-19.
"Our country will begin to bring vaccines approved by
the World Health Organization for emergency use starting today under
careful inspections by professional organisations," Oyun-Erdene said at a
meeting with officials to check the preparations underway for the
Covid-19 vaccine rollout in Mongolia, Xinhua news agency reported.
"As
the country's Prime Minister, I will become the first person vaccinated
in the country against the Covid-19 to encourage citizens to accept
inoculation."
Mongolia is expected to launch a nationwide Covid-19 vaccination campaign next week, according to the health ministry.
The
Asian country is planning to vaccinate at least 60 per cent of its 3.3
million population against Covid-19, and 20 per cent of them will be
vaccinated under COVAX, a global initiative to ensure quick and equal
access to vaccines against the virus, the ministry said.
As of Tuesday, the country has registered a total of 2,416 Covid-19 cases, with four deaths.
More
than half of the confirmed cases were detected in the capital city Ulan
Bator, which is home to over half of the country's total population.
