After administering fewer than 800,000 doses since vaccinations began in March - enough for a single dose for just 3% of the population - Ivorian health authorities are now aiming to inoculate a million people in Abidjan over the next 10 days.
While acknowledging that will be a tall order, they hope to pick up the pace by targeting some of Abidjans most frequented places, especially its vast open-air markets where most of its 5 million residents shop for food and clothing.
At the market in the district of Adjame, which municipal officials say is visited by more than one million people a day, mostly female vendors and customers lined up to be vaccinated in an air-conditioned truck.
We are very happy about the convenience of the vaccines. It suits everyone, said Minigna Keita, who promotes cosmetic products at the market.
In the Treichville district, health workers roamed the market with megaphones, encouraging people to get vaccinated.
This morning it was a little slow, but people have started to show up in large numbers after seeing that the first people vaccinated did not have any problems, said Sylvie Sie, who coordinates vaccinations in the district.

Deaths due to Covid-19 in Indonesia exceeded 1,000 for the first time, intensifying the battle to contain a resurgence of infections that has overwhelmed its medical system.
The nation reported 1,040 more deaths in the past 24 hours, double the number just a week ago, latest ministry data show. It registered 34,379 new cases as of Wednesday, also a daily record.

Southeast Asias biggest economy is preparing a response should daily cases hit 70,000, which would be the worst-case scenario, according to Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, who is overseeing the pandemic response in the countrys most-populated islands of Java and Bali. The government said this week it plans to start importing oxygen to secure supply.
Indonesias Growth Outlook Slashed as Long Covid-19 Battle Looms
The government has begun enforcing its tightest curbs in Java and Bali as cases surged. Mobility needs to be reduced by 50% to be able to slow the spread of the highly transmissible delta variant, which now accounts for 90% of active cases, said Panjaitan.
Several sectors may be dropped from the list of those allowed to operate during the curbs to further reduce peoples mobility, Dedy Permadi, spokesman at the communications ministry, said in a Wednesday briefing.
Central Java province was hardest hit on Wednesday, with 480 people dying of the disease. While Jakarta and neighboring West Java account for the bulk of infections, their fatality rates at 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively, were lower than Central Javas 4.4% during the pandemic so far.
The capital and surrounding areas likely have more robust healthcare infrastructure than other provinces, and report higher vaccination rates. Around half of Jakartas 10 million population have received at least their first shot, compared with about 10% in Central Java.
Indonesia considers offering a third vaccination shot to healthcare workers to increase their protection against the deadly virus, and the plan is pending studies by the national vaccination board and drug agency, said Siti Nadia Tarmizi, a spokeswoman for the nations Covid-19 task force.

SINGAPORE, July 7 (Reuters) - People who received Sinovac Biotech (SVA.O) shots are excluded from Singapore's count of total vaccinations against COVID-19, officials in the city state said, citing inadequate efficacy data for the Chinese-made vaccine, especially against the contagious Delta variant.
"We don't really have a medical or scientific basis or have the data now to establish how effective Sinovac is in terms of infection and severe illnesses on Delta," health minister Ong Ye Kung said during a media briefing on Wednesday.
The Delta variant has become the most prevalent strain of COVID-19 in Singapore since a cluster of infections was identified at the airport in May. The government subsequently moved back to stricter curbs on social gatherings and public activities, though it has begun relaxing some of those restrictions.
Only people who participated in the national immunisation programme, which currently uses the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech/Cominarty (PFE.N), shots, are counted in the tally for vaccinations.
More than 3.7 million people have received at least one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, covering about 65% of the population, and nearly 2.2 million have completed the two-dose regimen.
Singapore has set a target for two-thirds of its people to be fully vaccinated by around Aug. 9.
Following an emergency use approval by the World Health Organization (WHO), Singapore began allowing designated private clinics to offer the Sinovac shot, CoronaVac, from mid-June. Singapore had a stock of 200,000 CoronaVac doses which the clinics could draw on. read more
As of July 3, just over 17,000 people had received one dose of CoronaVac, and authorities say that demand for the vaccine appeared to taper off after an initial rush. read more
Last month, Kenneth Mak, Singapore's director of medical services, said evidence from other countries showed people who had taken CoronaVac were still getting infected, posing a significant risk.
And Singapore has said that people vaccinated with CoronaVac would still need to be tested for COVID-19 before attending certain events or entering some venues, unlike people vaccinated under the national programme.
Singapore has reported 62,652 infections since the pandemic first erupted last year, with most found in foreign worker domitories. But there were only five new locally-acquired cases reported on Wednesday. COVID-19 related deaths stood at 36, one of the lowest rates in the world.
