THE Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) has launched the first phase of the vaccination programme where its workforce will receive the voluntary Sinopharm jabs.
The development follows Government’s decision last week to have frontline workers vaccinated under phase one of the programme.
On the second phase, ZPCS will roll out the programme to over 21 000 inmates in jails across the country. The ZPCS command element yesterday was the first to be vaccinated, as they sought to lead from the front.
Speaking after receiving his dose, ZPCS Commissioner-General Moses Chihobvu urged others to be vaccinated.
