People who have been waiting 3-4 months for vaccines should be able to register again, the head of the government’s covid-19 committee Hossam Hosny told Khairy Ramadan on Al Kahera Wal Nas (watch, runtime: 1:51:05). Those who register a second time should receive an appointment within 48 hours, Hosny said.

How do you register a second time? You’re going to need to call the Health Ministry’s covid-19 hotline on 15335 — there’s no option to re-register on the website.

We tried it out and … we’re still waiting. A number of us who are waiting for jabs called the hotline to re-register, but were unable to complete the process because we couldn’t speak with anyone. One of us was put on hold for 20 minutes before the call failed, suggesting you’ll need to set aside from time to call and keep trying.

The Health Ministry reported 491 new covid-19 infections yesterday, up from 471 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 293,448 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 14 new deaths, bringing the country’s total death toll to 16,885.
