Are North Koreans vaccinated against COVID-19?

North Korea has not officially rolled out a coronavirus vaccine programme.

North Korea has rejected offers to use the Chinese-made Sinovac vaccine and AstraZeneca jabs.

Instead, the nation had aimed to keep out the virus by keeping its borders closed since the start of the pandemic.

The hard border situation however has led the country into a fragile economic state, with reports of mass food shortages and critical supplies.

Kim Jong-un was in emergency talks to prepare the nation’s response.

Has COVID been in North Korea undetected?

There have been signs that the virus may be quietly spreading in North Korea.

Since 2020 when the pandemic was first declared, there have been numerous “unconfirmed” cases of the virus in North Korea.

The country’s neighbours, China and South Korea, have also both seen outbreaks – with China right now keeping firm on its “COVID-Zero” policy – with city’s like Shanghai right now in lockdown.
