THE Apostolic Women Empowerment Trust (AWET) says the spread of misinformation, distrust, including social, religious, and cultural barriers are contributing to members of their sects being hesitant to receive Covid-19 inoculation.
The government launched the programme in February this year with a target to vaccinate 60% or 10 million citizens.
However, the uptake has not been favourable with the Health Ministry indicating Friday that 500 422 people had taken the first dose and 140 340 the second dose.
But, Apostolic Sect leaders said members from their churches were unwilling to receive the vaccination due to lack of information and social barriers.
This emerged during the United Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Global Faith for Positive Change Initiative in Harare workshop attended by faith leaders from various religious groups on Covid-19 vaccination awareness campaign.
