On May 21, 2023, Egypt administered 14,954 doses of the vaccine against the coronavirus (COVID-19). The country received its first shipment of Sinopharm vaccines in December as the first country in the African continent to receive any doses. The health minister declared the start of the vaccination program on January 24, 2021, and was set to start with medical staff as part of phase three clinical trials of the vaccine developed in China.
On January 25, 2021, 219 jabs of the vaccine developed by Sinopharm were administered. The number of daily administered doses started to increase from January 31, 2021, reaching its highest daily count on November 13, 2021. Moreover, 854,000 AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccines were secured in late March 2021 via the COVAX initiative. Egypt domestically produces the Sinovac vaccine in Egypt in its state-owned vaccine production company and plans to further increase its production to become a hub for producing vaccines.

The source adds the following information:
"Shown is the rolling 7-day average. This is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime (e.g. people receive multiple doses)." "Not all countries report vaccination data on a daily basis. To generate this series we assume that vaccination changed equally on a daily basis over any periods in which no data was reported. This produces a complete series of daily figures, which is then averaged over a rolling 7-day window."
