Since the launch of the vaccination campaign in March this year, Namibia has been making use of the Sinopharm vaccine from China, and the AstraZeneca vaccine.<\/p>\n

According to the Health Ministry, by Sept. 1, a total of 214,854 people have received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 117,910 had received two doses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraged by the sustained decline in the number of new infections, hospitalization, and deaths. These achievements are the results of the public health measures that we have instituted and the cooperation from the public. We ask that we continue on this trajectory,\u201d Shangula said. He encouraged those who have not yet been vaccinated to do so without delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
