3.1 The distribution Chain
ZPP carried out a survey in Harare at 10 of the public
health institutions carrying out vaccinations in Harare
and discovered that citizens were joining vaccination
queues as early as midnight.
This was because some of the institutions, especially the
council clinics, were limiting the number of people to get
vaccines per day. For example, at a clinic in Warren Park
1, they were limiting to 100 jabs a day while in Highfields,
it was reported that they were taking about 200 a day.
This is a result of the unavailability of adequate human
and other enabling resources.
ZIMBABWE PEACE PROJECT
MONTHLY MONITORING REPORT
JULY 2021
Zimbabwe has so far received just over two million
vaccines since February, and these have come in batches
from China, India and lately the United States. This means
that at any point, the country has been distributing
about a quarter million vaccines across the country and
this has posed not just logistical challenges, but has also
resulted in the vaccines being distributed in lower
quantities to primary health care institutions and with the
demand growing, there is increasing frustration among
citizens intending to acquire the vaccines.
The Zimbabwe government intends to have vaccinated
10 million of the 14 million people in the country by year
end, and this ambitious plan can only succeed if the
government takes into consideration the following
recommendations.
