CME Credits: 1.00
Released: 2022-02-14
From February to March 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases in Mongolia (population 3.3 million) increased from less than 40 to more than 300 per day. This increase led the Mongolian government to mandate a shutdown in March 2021. A nationwide vaccination program was also initiated at that time, and 4 vaccines (2 adenovirus vectored, 1 inactivated virus, and 1 messenger RNA) were offered. This shutdown was relaxed in early June 2021 because the number of COVID-19 cases had decreased from more than 1400 per day in April to approximately 500 per day by the end of May, which was attributed to vaccination. At the end of June 2021, the number of cases increased rapidly to approximately 3000 per day ().
