The first consignment of Sputnik V vaccines that were donated by Serbia are expected in Harare today.

Addressing a post-Cabinet media briefing on Tuesday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said: “The initial 15 000 doses of the 30 000 Sputnik V vaccine donated by the Serbian government are expected on 1 September, 2021.”

Separately, Government is also launching a vaccination programme targeting churches.

“Cabinet wishes to inform the nation that owing to the tremendous support and acceptance of the vaccination programme by the churches, Government has launched Operation Marah.

“The churches can now call on Government vaccination teams to vaccinate members against Covid-19. The launch of Operation Marah will drive and accelerate the vaccination programme towards attainment of herd immunity,” added Minister Mutsvangwa.
