AfricaPress-mozambique:<\/strong> At least 350 Mozambican private companies have expressed their willingness to purchase 500,000 doses of vaccine against COVID-19, of which 120,000 are expected to be channelled to the government, said the country\u2019s Health Minister Armindo Tiago on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to the minister who was speaking at a press conference after the session of the Council of Ministers in Maputo, the government decided to create a common platform involving the private sector, \u201cfor the collective acquisition of vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the contribution deposited in the accounts of the Bank of Mozambique allows us to purchase around 500,000 doses. And eventually from these doses, 120,000 doses are to be used by the government and the rest to be used by the private sector,\u201d said Tiago.<\/p>\n

The Indian variant has not yet been detected in Mozambique, said the minister while appealing to the public to strengthen the prevention measures against COVID-19, given the threat of a possible third wave.<\/p>\n

The number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 in Mozambique reached around 320,000, which is only two percent of the government\u2019s vaccination target due to the shortage of vaccines, according to the statistics released by the Ministry of Health two weeks ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
