Lack of transparency from the government on its plans to the plans to secure the Covid-19 vaccine is a cause of concern that may affect uptake, commentators have said.
According to scientists, vaccinating a significant proportion of the population is the ‘only realistic way’ to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic that has wreaked havoc locally and globally.
In Zimbabwe, the government recently announced it will avail US$100 million from its coffers and other support structures for the purchase of 20 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to be used for vaccinating over 60 percent of the population.
This announcement followed an address on the national lockdown by Vice president and Health and Child Care Minister, Constantino Chiwenga, that the government would soon bring in Covid-19 vaccines, with a roll-out plan and a deployment strategy underway.
