Dar es Salaam, The minister for Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Dr Dorothy Gwajima, yesterday said the government will issue an official statement on its stand regarding Covid-19 vaccines soon.
Many countries around the world are rolling out the vaccine following discovery and distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine by rich countries, with the majority of poor countries subscribing to access the technology.
On Wednesday, Britain approved a low-cost vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and the drug firm AstraZeneca, making it the third jab to win approval in the West, after the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
Tanzania has persistently been silent for a long time on its stand to use or not to use the Covid-19 vaccines, as the government maintains that there are no Covid-19 patients.
Speaking during her official tour of Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Dr Gwajima told The Citizen that the government will soon issue an official statement on the matter.
“I cannot tell (the reporter) you now; but we (government) will issue a public statement soon. So, be patient,” she said as she was touring different departments at the national hospital.
