Sinopharm vaccine: The lowdown
Sunday Mail Reporter
ZIMBABWE takes delivery of the first consignment of the Covid-19 vaccine when a shipment of 200 000 doses from China’s pharmaceutical company Sinopharm arrives tomorrow morning.
The country will join a long list of countries that are deploying the vaccine to immunise their populations against the deadly respiratory disease.
An additional 600 000 vaccines are expected in the country next month.
Frontline health workers, ports of entry officials and funeral parlour workers will be among the first to be vaccinated, according to Government’s rollout plan.
Immunisation of the chronically ill, the elderly, prisoners and those living in refugee camps will follow immediately after.
