Over 10 million Turkish citizens have received both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine as part of the ongoing nationwide vaccination program, the Health Ministry's data showed on Thursday.
Turkey launched the program in mid-January with China's Sinovac vaccine and recently the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was included, the Xinhua news agency reported. Last week, Turkish authorities also approved Russia's Sputnik V vaccine for emergency use.
