The Chairperson of the SADC Council of Ministers argues that poor progress in vaccination campaigns is responsible for the high rates of Covid-19 infection in countries in the region.
According to Verónica Macamo, the low vaccination capacity in SADC delays the achievement of community immunity goals in the people residing in these countries.
