Dr Mangwiro: We have checked and it's safe for those with underlying conditions to be given the #Sinopharm Vaccine.The vaccine is not the virus itself. Thus it is very safe for people with underlying conditions to take the vaccine #OpenCovidContracts#WhereAreOurVaccinesZW
What's tests have @MCAZofficial done on the vaccine?
Richard Rukwata: We focus on how the quality of the product was built into the manufacturing process as opposed to just testing samples of a particular product.
Richard Rukwata: In this particular case case we received a dose from #Sinopharm and we also get access to how the product is manufactured. We look at quality processes. #OpenCovidContracts #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW
Richard Rukwata: Yes I can assure Zimbabweans that the #Sinopharm vaccines are safe. In fact I would also want to take the vaccine but unfortunately I do not qualify #OpenCovidContracts #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW

HON. JOSHUA SACCO: Thank you Mr Speaker Sir. Firstly, I would like to applaud the Hon. Vice President and Minister of Health for the timely intervention for bringing in the vaccines to Zimbabwe. #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW
HON. SACCO: My question is around use of alternative treatments for COVID-19. There is talk about the use of ivermectin drug which I know has been authorised for investigations to be done around the use of ivermectin for treatment as well as prophylaxis. #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW
HON. SACCO: Could the Hon. Vice President comment on ivermectin. Can it be used as a drug for human beings and how effective is it? Thank you. #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW#OpenCovidContracts
@BitiTendai : So, why is your strategy on head-count instead of just immunising everyone because everyone can fall sick and die? We have lost so many people. My suggestion is that you must go for a target of immunising every Zimbabwean. #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW#OpenCovidContracts
HON. MISIHARABWI: My first question to the Minister and Vice President is to do with the figures that you have given us in terms of the targets, particularly for the first phase. #WhereAreOurVaccinesZW#OpenCovidContracts
HON. MISIHAIRABWI: If you are looking at your frontline workers, you are only looking at workers not necessarily their partners. When we look at partners those figures substantially change. May you explain how it is feasible to just do one person & not necessarily their partner?
#Twimbos we give you highlights from the post Cabinet Press Briefing As presented by @InfoMinZW Minister Hon. M Mutsvangwa
Cabinet informs the nation that results of the genomic sequencing recently conducted indicate that the type of COVID-19 virus that the nation had in 2020 has receded. There is a 61% dominance of the new South African variant which spreads faster & has a higher fatality rate.
Min Mutsvangwa: Accordingly, the nation now needs to be more vigilant than before and adhere to COVID-19 prevention and control measures. Security personnel have therefore been directed to intensify monitoring and enforcement in order to enhance compliance #OpenParlyZW
Misihairambiwi: Zimsec has refused to come to @ParliamentZim and we want to bring a motion of contempt against them . They have denied us access to Grade 7 results indicating that we need to go through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education #OpenParlyZW
