World Health Organization (WHO) has assured Malawians the about the efficiency of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine which the country is expected to roll out.
Speaking during the daily Covid-19 update in Lilongwe, WHO Representative for Malawi Nonhlanhla Rose Dlamini said the vaccine is suitable and effective for Malawi.
Dlamini added that despite the South African government suspending the administration of the similar jab over its effectiveness against the new strain, Malawians should be not concerned because the study by South Africa was done on younger age group.
However, there are reports of resistance from the populace to take the vaccine.
