The Ministry of Health in Morocco has recommended the routine immunization of children continue during the COVID-19 crisis.

“Any delay in vaccination can increase the risk of contracting preventable diseases,” the ministry announced on Thursday, April 16.

In a statement, the ministry informed the public, especially parents and guardians, that despite the COVID-19 crisis, health centers and private clinics across Morocco will continue to give vaccines to children.

The health ministry sees immunization a priority for the prevention of communicable diseases.

The ministry warned even a short delay in the regular vaccination schedule could increase the risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases, calling on “parents and guardians of children and infants to respect vaccination dates according to the vaccination calendar.”
