DUBAI: Jordan has inoculated 274,360 people with coronavirus vaccines since it started a mass immunization program in mid-January, health officials said.
The country has launched a website, https://vaccine.jo, where people who want to get vaccinated can register. The site lists the registration steps for both Jordanians and residents.
More than 822,140 applications have been received so far, a report from state news agency Petra revealed.
A senior health official meanwhile urged symptomatic COVID-19 patients above 60, particularly those who suffer from chronic diseases, to seek medical help in hospitals and avoid home remedies.
Depending on home-based medication could further worsen a patient’s medical situation, Ghazi Sharkas, the assistant secretary general for preliminary health of the country’s the health ministry, warned.
Jordan reported 4,399 new coronavirus cases and 98 COVID-19 related fatalities overnight, bringing the country’s caseload to 582,133 and the death toll to 6,472.

Israeli military says it will pursue every successor of Iran’s Khamenei
- The clerical body that will choose Iran’s next supreme leader has more or less reached a majority consensus
- Minor disagreement over whether their final decision must follow an in-person meeting or instead be issued
The Israeli military warned it would continue pursuing every successor of Iran’s next supreme leader.
In a post on X in Farsi, the Israeli military also warned it would pursue every person who seeks to appoint a successor for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, referring to the clerical body charged with choosing the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader.
The clerical body that will choose Iran’s next supreme leader, succeeding the slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has more or less reached a majority consensus, Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbaqeri said on Sunday.
The Mehr news agency quoted him as saying “some obstacles” still needed to be resolved regarding the process.
On Saturday, a senior cleric in the Assembly of Experts said its members would meet “within one day” to choose the leader.
Iranian media said the group had a minor disagreement over whether their final decision must follow an in-person meeting or instead be issued without adhering to this formality.
Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir, another member of the Assembly of Experts, said in a video released by Nournews on Sunday that an in-person meeting by the assembly for a final vote was not possible under current conditions.
He said a candidate had been picked, based on the late supreme leader’s advice that Iran’s top leader should “be hated by the enemy” instead of praised by it.
“Even the Great Satan (US) has mentioned his name,” Heidari Alekasir said of the chosen successor, days after US President Donald Trump said that Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, was an “unacceptable” choice for him.
