Turkey has administered over 76.2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines since it launched a mass vaccination campaign in January, according to official figures released on Sunday.
The country continues its intensive vaccination campaign to curb the spread of the coronavirus, as everyone 16 and over is eligible for vaccine shots.
According to the Health Ministry, over 41.7 million people have gotten their first doses, while some 28.8 million are fully vaccinated.
Turkey entered a new normalization phase on July 1, amid a nationwide drop in cases and an expedited vaccination drive, lifting almost all virus-related restrictions.
Since December 2019, the pandemic has claimed over 4.29 million lives in 192 countries and regions, with some 202.4 million cases reported, according to the US-based Johns Hopkins University.
