Officials believe the insurgents would not target vaccine teams as they would not be going door-to-door.<\/p>\n![\"rapid-news-rapidnews-Taliban-backs-vaccine-drive-as-Afghan-govt-receives-$112m-funding-pledge-dailyrapidnews\"](\"https:\/\/dailyrapidnews.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rapid-news-rapidnews-Taliban-backs-vaccine-drive-as-Afghan-govt-receives-112m-funding-pledge-dailyrapidnews.jpg\")

Announcing the funding, an Afghan health official said the programme would cover the 20% of the country\u2019s 38 million population.<\/p>\n
The COVAX programme is a global scheme to vaccinate people in poor and middle income countries against the coronavirus. It aims to deliver at least 2 billion vaccine doses by the end of 2021 to cover 20% of the most vulnerable people in 91 poor and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan\u2019s Deputy Health Minister Waheed Majroh told journalists it was going to take six months to get the vaccines but authorities were in discussions to get them earlier.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan has registered 54,854 infections and 2,390 deaths – but experts say cases are significantly underreported due to low testing and limited access to medical facilities in the war-torn country.<\/p>\n
Aside from COVAX, the country has also received a pledge of 500,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from India, Dr Ghulam Dastagir Nazari, head of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation at Afghanistan\u2019s health ministry, told\u00a0Reuters<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThe AstraZeneca brand which is manufactured in India will arrive soon in Afghanistan,\u201d Nazari said, adding that the government was only concerned about the WHO approval of the vaccine and that the pre-qualification process has already started.<\/p>\n
An Indian government source confirmed that 500,000 doses had been set aside for Afghanistan and another official said the first batch of vaccines would land in February, though Kabul had not yet adopted the protocols to administer them.<\/p>\n
The World Bank and Asian Development Bank have also said they would finance vaccines for another 20% of the population by the end of 2022, health ministry spokesperson\u00a0Masouma Jafari told\u00a0Reuters<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Taliban militant movement gave its backing on Tuesday for a coronavirus vaccination campaign in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"yoast_head":"\n
