Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe is expecting to receive its first batch of Chinese-donated COVID-19 vaccine doses by Monday next week, a cabinet minister has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a post Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said Zimbabwe will receive the donated 200 000 SINOPHARM COVID-19 vaccine doses next week, while the purchased consignment will be delivered in early March. She said:<\/p>\n

In terms of vaccines procurement, the Government of the People\u2019s Republic of China extended a donation of 200 000 SINOPHARM COVID-19 vaccine doses.<\/p>\n

The donation and initial batch purchased are expected in Zimbabwe by 15 February 2021 and the first week of March 2021, respectively.<\/p>\n

The 76 to 86 per cent efficacy of the SINOPHARM vaccine was endorsed by the World Health Organisation.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa further said Zimbabwe is expecting to receive more vaccines donated by India while plans are afoot to buy Russia\u2019s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine. Said Mutsvangwa:<\/p>\n

Efforts to procure other COVID-19 vaccines such as the Sputnik V (Victory) from Russia, among others, are underway. India, like China, has also offered a donation and an option to purchase commercially and modalities for this offer are still being worked out.<\/p>\n

She said frontline workers, the elderly and those with underlying conditions will be the first to receive the jab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
