ZANU PF President and First Secretary Cde E.D Mnangagwa says the COVID-19 vaccination drive is now aimed at going beyond herd immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This he said during the Politburo meeting held at the Party Headquarters today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country has been recommended for its sterling work in efforts to safeguard its people from the virus that has killed millions globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The National COVID-19 Vaccination Programme is being intensified while external vaccination protocol measures are being enforced. Our thrust is to vaccinate the nation beyond herd immunity,” President Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The national programme now covers young people from the age of 16 years and above. I thus call upon the structures of the Party to continue mobilising our people to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We also have in stock enough vaccines which allows vaccinated people a third booster vaccine jab should they so wish.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To date 4 060 046 people have received their first dose while 3 074 658 have received their second dose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
