Mbabane: As means to strengthen the health system in the country, the Minister of Health Lizzie Nkosi has come to say that health workers are among those who will be the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as soon as its avail.

“Assessments on vaccine profile and logistics required for delivery of the vaccine to the population have also been conducted to inform the vaccine candidate that would work best for our population and fit our cold chain infrastructure.”

Nkosi said, Government is already drawing up plans to ensure that the country timely receives approved COVID-19 vaccines. She said Government is committed to procuring a COVID-19 vaccine when a viable candidate approved by appropriate bodies is available. Nkosi said, Government has already set aside funding and is engaging with various different partners to source additional funding to enable us to purchase the vaccines.

“We wish to emphasize the importance of staying safe. As we move around and about, doing our Christmas shopping and visiting relatives, let us not act recklessly as this is detrimental to ourselves and everyone else we may come into contact with.”
