He said:<\/p>\n<p>I can confirm that some vaccination cards were stolen from St Patrick\u2019s hospital in Hwange and the matter is still under investigations.<\/p>\n<p>No arrests have been made yet and we are appealing to the public to assist with information that can lead to the arrest of the criminals and recovery of cards.<\/p>\n<p>He said on 18 August at around 07:30 am, Tatenda Maposa, a nurse at the hospital, who was on duty at the Family Child Health Care department, was given a sealed batch with 243 COVID-19 vaccination cards serial numbers 00211758-2000. Added Insp Banda:<\/p>\n<p>She issued the vaccination cards up to serial number 00211778 and left the vaccination room to attend to a patient at the Antenatal clinic around 1400hrs.<\/p>\n<p>She left the door and window opened with the Covid-19 vaccination cards, serial number 00211779-00212000 on top of the table.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day at around 1430hrs she returned and discovered that 18 Covid-19 vaccination cards, serial number 00211779-96 were missing.<\/p>\n<p>She immediately informed her matron, Ms S. Ncube and a report was made to ZRP Hwange. Police attended the scene and no arrest were made.<\/p>\n<p>The stolen cards constitute government property and nothing was recovered.<\/p>\n<p>Indications are that the culprits intend to sell the cards to some members of the public who have been shunning vaccination on religious grounds and conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<p>The government recently allowed churches to resume in-person services but only for fully vaccinated congregants.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, restaurants can allow fully vaccinated customers to sit in for meals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
