GOVT WILL NOT ALLOW A HARMFUL VACCINE -SILIYA
By Brian Mwale
Chief Government Spokesperson Dora Siliya says government cannot allow citizens to access harmful Covid-19 vaccines.
Ms. Siliya says government through the Ministry of Health has continued engaging various experts on the Covid-19 vaccines before it is rolled out to citizens.
She says Health Minister Jonas Chanda will soon furnish cabinet with details on the vaccines and its administration to citizens.
Appearing on ZNBC 19 hours News this evening, Ms. Siliya assured the nation that the vaccines go through approval of the World Health Organization -WHO -before being rolled out.
She said this is why Dr. Chanda has been appealing to the masses to lessen negative and uninformed discussions about the vaccines because consultations with experts are being done.
And Ms. Siliya said schools are still set to re-open on Monday February 1st as planned.
She says the Ministry of Education and the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit -DMMU- have been working closely to ensure children and teachers are safe when schools re-open.
