Al Jazeera reported that Yemen saw a dramatic rise in coronavirus cases this year but many in the country are very hesitant to get vaccinated.
"We have received 70,000 doses in Taiz and we started the vaccination campaign on April 21," Rajeh al-Maliki, head of Yemen's health ministry in Taiz.
"We can fairly say that there is very little interest … we have distributed around 500 shots since we started, it is less than we expected," Maliki said told Al Jazeera.
