The COVAX Facility has informed the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the
Environment that the country can expect to receive doses of the AstraZeneca
vaccine, in the near future and is seen as suitable for rollout around the world. The
WHO says the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine should be used in countries even
where variants of the virus are present - as well as in all adults over 18. The Oxford
AstraZeneca vaccine protects against severe illness, hospitalizations and death.
Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is not compulsory, but you are encouraged to do so
when it is your turn. Experts say that making the vaccine mandatory wouldn't help
create public confidence.
Without vaccines, we are at risk of serious illness and disability from diseases like measles, meningitis, pneumonia, tetanus and polio.
Many of these diseases can be life-threatening.
WHO estimates that vaccines save between 2 and 3 million lives every year
