GENEVA, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization's immunisation director praised China on Friday for making quick progress on vaccinating older people with COVID-19 shots and boosters since lifting anti-virus controls last month.

China's population of 1.4 billion has been largely shielded from the disease since it emerged in the city of Wuhan in late 2019. Since restrictions were lifted in December, China has seen a surge in cases although officials say it has hit its peak.

"China is making enormous progress and effort to get to every older adult with both primary doses and with booster doses," the WHO's Kate O'Brien told a Geneva media briefing.
