Hopes for a speedy recovery from COVID-19 in South Africa have been damped somewhat after health minister Zweli Mkhize said that it would suspend the AstraZeneca formula of the vaccine. The sudden U-turn comes after disappointing data showed the jab provided minimal protection against some cases of the South African variant of the Coronavirus. We hear from Professor Mosa Moshabela, Dean of the School of Nursing and Public Health at the University of KwaZulu Natal, who says that although other alternatives to the AstraZeneca jab are available, there may still be applications for it in South Africa.
We bring you harrowing accounts of women in northwest Cameroon who are refusing to work in their farms for fear of getting caught between the compounded threats of rebels from the English-speaking region and Fulani herders.

Stony Brook University School of Nursing’s Online Master’s Program was ranked ninth in the nation by a survey published by U.S. News and World Report in its 2021 College Rankings. This is the second year in a row that the program was ranked in the top 10. In 2020, the program was ranked 7th. In a statement released by the University, officials said that the decline in ranking might have been due to the slight decline in faculty numbers. They said that this was attributed to difficulty in hiring because of the pandemic. Nevertheless, the program has remained in the top 20 for online graduate nursing programs in all but one of the past eight years.

But according to a recent seminar hosted by the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), there s no need to fear.
Children under 16 will not be given the vaccine, there is still more to be done in evaluating the vaccine s impact during pregnancy and yes you will be expected to complete an e-register following vaccination.

Colorado Mountain College (CMC) recently received a grant from Johnson & Johnson Foundation via the Johnson & Johnson Center for Health Worker Innovation. The funds will help nurses on Colorado’s Western Slope get the training they need to step into the workplace.
The Rural Nursing Success Fund at the College allows CMC to add virtual simulation modules for nursing students as well as instructors. Additionally, a nursing income share agreement fund was created to provide students with an innovative way to fund their education.
An income share agreement (ISA) is a contract between a financial institution or college and a student. In return for funds covering the student’s educational needs, students agree to share a small portion of their future earnings for a certain period of time after graduation.
