They did not go into detail.<\/p>\n<p>Health officials said that they, too, are aware of the anti-vaccine campaigners who are threatening to resort to violent means to disrupt the Covid vaccination campaign and the ministry is taking the necessary precautionary measures to ensure the safety of its officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe security cluster was notified about the matter,\u201d said a health official in the Omusati Region.
