The Government is exercising due diligence to ensure that all Covid-19 vaccines procured or donated to the country go through the necessary scrutiny, a senior official has said.
Speaking during a virtual meeting hosted by the Zimbabwe Diaspora Health Alliance last Wednesday, Chief Coordinator of the national response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Dr Agnes Mahomva allayed fears that Government would receive vaccines without following quality control measures. Dr Mahomva said through the Pharmacovigilance and Clinical Trials Committee, the vaccines are rigorously verified before being cleared by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe.
