Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Government has used about US$140 million so far in buying vaccines for COVID-19, Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube told Parliament recently.<\/p>\n

Giving an update on the current economic situation in the country in the National Assembly, Ncube said:<\/p>\n

A few words on COVID-19, Zimbabwe together with the global community has been under attack from the COVID-19 pandemic since 20th March 2020 which posed several challenges retarding the full attainment of the desired economic outcomes.<\/p>\n

To mitigate the impact of the disease, the government has spent over US$140 million on the procurement of 22.4 million vaccine doses, and this is enough to vaccinate the bulk of our population or at least 60% of the population which is herd immunity.<\/p>\n

Madam Speaker Ma\u2019am, we have an additional 10 million doses that have been donated to Zimbabwe by the government of China.<\/p>\n

We have not taken delivery because we still need to exhaust what we have. So, we have enough vaccines to vaccinate everyone, and everyone can also receive a booster shot.<\/p>\n

I hope that members of the august House are beginning to receive their booster shots, and I encourage them to do so if they have not. I certainly have.<\/p>\n

Ncube also revealed that development partners have contributed US$150.5 million towards the fight against COVID-19. Said Ncube:<\/p>\n

Government also appreciates the continued support coming from development partners to complement efforts in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

To date, the Government has received US$150.5 million from development partners, which has been spent on COVID-19-related expenditures.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe also received US$961 million in the form of SDR allocation, as you know; I presented how this money has been spent in terms of socio-economic, infrastructure, and productive sectors as well as supporting our contingency fund for the future, and making sure that we bolster our foreign reserves.<\/p>\n
