Zimbabwe has the highest vaccination rate in Southern Africa with 29.9 doses per 100 people already dispensed. By 3 September, 18.3% of the population had received the first dose while 11.5% had been fully vaccinated.
The country intends to vaccinate 10 million by the end of the year to attain herd immunity but at the current rate of vaccination this does not appear feasible.

South Africa was at 22.4 doses per 100 residents on 2 September while Botswana was at 22.9 doses on 1 September.
There were 94 new cases and 9 deaths yesterday while 450 people recovered resulting in the number of active cases dropping to 5 870.
Manicaland, which was in top spot had 268 recoveries yesterday resulting in the number of active cases dropping to 1 102. Masvingo now has the highest at 1 343 while Mashonaland West has 1 008.
