Zimbabwe begins vaccination campaign against Covid-19 using Chinese vaccine 1 minute read
Harare, Feb 18 (efe-epa).- Zimbabwe began on Thursday its Covid-19 inoculation campaign with a vaccine developed in China, becoming the eighth country in Africa to launch an immunization drive to combat the coronavirus.
Constantino Chiwenga, the country’s vice-president, was the first person to receive the shot during a ceremony organized at Wilkins Hospital, three days after a plane from Air Zimbabwe brought 200,000 Sinopharm vaccines from China.
“Today marks the launch of the vaccination program that seeks to achieve a herd immunity of at least 10 million Zimbabweans,” Chiwenga said after receiving the dose from a nurse dressed in a protective gown and mask.

Even as the world is bracing for vaccination drives to combat COVID-19, many people in the Southern African country of Zimbabwe have latched their hopes on zumbani a woody shrub to keep the pandemic at bay.
Nyson Mhaka, 52, and his wife Gertrude, 47, were infected with COVID-19 in December. They claim to have recovered after taking the “wonder herb.”
And since then, the couple has turned a campaigner, giving lectures on the lifesaving properties of the fever tea tree leaves.
While there are no clinical studies to suggest that having zumbani can cure a COVID-19 patient, experts believe that its respiratory healing properties may have provided limited help in certain cases.
