Hundreds of Zimbabweans protested Wednesday about a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines as the country awaits more doses from China.
The government wants to inoculate at least 60% of Zimbabwe s more than 14 million people by the end of the year but has struggled to get the necessary supplies.
Claudina Maneni brought her 60-year-old mother to get her second vaccine dose Wednesday at Wilkins Hospital, Zimbabwe’s main COVID-19 vaccination center.
She was among people who arrived at 4 a.m. but waited in vain for hours.
The crowd demanded to see authorities and began to protest but dispersed upon hearing police were on their way.
