COVID-19 Vaccination Now Mandatory for Anyone Over 18 Years Old

As of now, COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for anyone over 18 years old in Egypt. The decision is part of a new set of regulations made in response to the proliferation of the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus.

These regulations include accelerating the vaccination process for a wider population of people in Egypt, facilitating vaccine registration procedures at train and metro stations, and allowing minors aged 12 to 18 better access to the vaccine.

The Ministry of Health and Population will also offer booster doses to people who have been vaccinated over six months ago, increase the number of tests for positive cases, and impose harsher restrictions on all travel ports.
