Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The government has urged thousands of Zimbabweans who received their first doses of the Indian Covaxin vaccine in May and June to consider starting afresh with a different one.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 coordinator Dr Agnes Mahomva said the government has failed to acquire additional Covaxin doses for those who received the first jab to complete their vaccination.<\/p>\n

The delays in procuring the vaccine were due to the prevalent Delta variant in India which claimed the lives of millions of people in the Asian country.<\/p>\n

Mahomva said Covaxin recipients who got the first dose can approach any health centre and get inoculated. She said:<\/p>\n

Indeed, we had rolled out the Indian Covaxin but the country was hit by a horrible third wave which made it difficult for us to access more doses for our members of the public who had received the first dose.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s a development that is beyond the Government and the least we can do is keep checking for availability as India is still struggling to contain the pandemic at the moment.<\/p>\n

Those who received the first doses of Covaxin in May and June are free to start the whole process afresh and access a new vaccine.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, they won\u2019t be able to mix vaccines as some suggested hence they should start afresh or continue waiting for the availability of the Covaxin which cannot be guaranteed now.<\/p>\n

India donated 35 000 doses of its vaccine early this year which were rolled out as part of the ongoing mass vaccination.<\/p>\n

Due to the prevailing third wave, India failed to deliver an additional 35 000 doses that were promised.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is rolling out Sinopharm, Sinovac and the Sputnik V vaccine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
