COVID-19: Zimbabwe receives first virus vaccines from China
AP, HARARE
Zimbabwe has received its first COVID-19 vaccines with the arrival early yesterday of an Air Zimbabwe jet carrying 200,000 Sinopharm doses from China.
It is one of China’s first shipments of vaccines to Africa, after deliveries to Egypt and Equatorial Guinea.
The first Sinopharm vaccines are a donation from China to the southern African country.
