Jubilation as King gets vaccine jab
MORIJA-KING Letsie III, senior government officials and health workers received the first jabs of the AstraZeneca vaccine at Scott Hospital yesterday.
The King was vaccinated together with Queen ’Masenate and Princess Senate at Scott Hospital in Morija, where he was born 57 years ago.
The decision to vaccinate the king first is meant to send a message that the vaccine is safe. The idea is to show that His Majesty is leading the way.
This is because the vaccination is happening at a time when there has been a massive pushback from anti-vaxxers who have been pushing a narrative that vaccines are not safe.
