Structures in place for Covid vaccine
NAMIBIA, by acting proactively, will be one of the first countries in Africa that will have a Covid-19 vaccine available to inoculate people against the disease and to normalise citizens’ way of life and fully revive the national economy.
The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, during the national briefing session from State House stated that vaccination is one of the most effective methods to prevent infections.
He said the health ministry is running a programme called Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) and added that when the Covid-19 vaccine becomes available in Namibia, it will be run as part of the EPI.
