China making ‘enormous progress’ on vaccinating elderly

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) immunisation director praised China on Friday (Jan 20) for making quick progress on vaccinating older people with COVID-19 shots and boosters since lifting anti-virus controls last month.
China’s population of 1.4 billion has been largely shielded from the disease since it emerged in the city of Wuhan in late 2019. Since restrictions were lifted in December, China has seen a surge in cases although officials say it has hit its peak.
