Turkey's COVID-19 vaccinations top 1 mln in first week -health ministry

Turkey has vaccinated more than 1 million people in the first week of its nationwide rollout of COVID-19 shots developed by China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd, health ministry data showed on Wednesday.

The programme was launched last Thursday, starting with health workers and then including the elderly. More than 600,000 people were vaccinated in the first two days but the pace has slowed since then to around 100,000 people per day.
