Mazrui added: After one pays that amount, he will be given a date when to pick up their certificates.<\/p>\n

He also said the money can be paid either through an account at the People’s Bank of Zanzibar (PBZ) or through mobile money.<\/p>\n

He said the ministry has already started preparing the cards according to the number of vaccines they have and so far there are 55,000 Sinovac jabs and 30,000 Sputnik Light 5 vaccines.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director of the Electronic Government Agency (E-Goverment), Said Seif said the card will contain special passwords of the person due to health issues requiring confidentiality.Mwananchi spoke to few Zanzibar residents to give their comments on the price and many said the amount is burden to them compared to the real life in Zanzibar.<\/p>\n
