UNICEF Facilitates Covax Procurement :: Mmegi Online

After a year of disruptions due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with more than 36,000 people infected, over 500 lives lost, and thousands of families affected in countless ways, the path to recovery for Botswana can now begin with the arrival of a vaccine for COVID-19.

“UNICEF is proud to support the Government of Botswana in this vital work. Availability of vaccines will go a long way in protecting the lives of Batswana from the COVD-19 scourge.

Each step on this journey brings us further along the path to recovery for Batswana children and their families affected by COVID-19 and importantly the start of the vaccination roll-out brings immense hope for the population of Botswana,” Joan Matji, UNICEF representative for Botswana said. The shipment received is the first tranche of many that will be allocated to Botswana in the coming months through the COVAX Facility.
