On November 1, the government started administering doses of Pfizer vaccine to school students aged 12-17.
A large number of the population has also been vaccinated with the government expecting more vaccine doses by the end of this month from multiple sources.
However, experts have warned against complacency as many countries are seeing a surge in infections yet again.
The fast-spreading coronavirus has so far claimed over five million lives and infected more than 251 million people throughout the world, according to Worldometer.
Over 227 million people have recovered from the disease, which has affected 223 countries and territories across the planet.
