Citing a decrease in vaccine hesitancy among Jordanians, the minister told local media that, compared to the second wave, the third will have “a flatter curve.”

Dudin added that the government will implement its “safe summer” plan so long as the Kingdom’s safety measures are enforced and its vaccine rollout is boosted.

Inoculation is vital to battling the third wave, said the minister, stressing that the Kingdom’s three-stage summer plan will only succeed if enough Jordanians are vaccinated.
