Health Minister Nadhim Zahawi, who is responsible for distributing vaccines, wrote on Twitter that 137,897 people were vaccinated in the first seven days across the country.

They will be followed by 1,000 others in the coming weeks. During the first week, more than 70 hospitals participated in the vaccine program with 10 others starting this week.
Zahawi said the figures were provisor and available data will be published next week.
108,000 people have been vaccinated in England, 7,897 in Wales, 4,000 in Northern Ireland, and 18,000 in Scotland, reports the BBC.
Over 80-year-olds were first invited to vaccination, along with health and care personnel, but the top priority group, residents of nursing homes, have just begun taking Pfizer vaccines. - BioNTech.
