Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>151,200 more doses of Johnson and Johnsons have arrived in the country as part of the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s commitment to share the U.S vaccine supply with the world.<\/p>\n

Speaking when receiving the vaccine consignment in Lusaka, USAID\/ Zambia Mission Director Sheryl Stumbras said the United States has pledged $4 Billion to COVAX, to accelerate equitable global access to vaccines.<\/p>\n

Ms. Stumbras said the vaccines were made available through the African Union Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) facility and are part of the US pledge to provide at least 25 Million of 80 Million doses globally with Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cVaccines are an essential tool in reducing the impact of Covid-19. Of the people who have received a Covid-19 in Zambia, only about 40% of them are women,\u201d she said. Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Technical Services, Dr Kennedy Malama<\/p>\n

And Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Technical Services, Dr Kennedy Malama said the Zambian government is indebted to the United States Government for the continued support.<\/p>\n

He noted that in the last 24 hours, the ministry of health administered 12,794 Dose 1 and 245 Dose 2 AstraZeneca vaccinations as well as 6,585 doses of Johnson and Johnson.<\/p>\n

Dr. Malama further said 476 new confirmed COVID-19 cases were recorded in the last 24 hours out of 6,083 tests conducted giving 8% positivity. \u201cThe cumulative number of confirmed cases recorded to date now stands at 193,432,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge members of the public not to drop the guard even as we see a positive outlook as the situation can change suddenly especially that our positivity remains above 5% and we continue seeing very sick patients being hospitalized,\u201d. He added that on a sad note, the country has in the last 24 hours recorded 22 new COVID-19 related deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe currently have 6,137 active cases, with 5,634 under community management and 503 admitted to our COVID-19 isolation facilities. We had 54 new admissions in the last 24hours. Among those currently admitted, 360 are on Oxygen therapy and 123 are in critical condition,\u201d he said.
