Zimbabwe has so far procured enough vaccines for over 800 000 people but has promised to import vaccines for 500 000 people every month.
It plans to vaccinate at least 10 million people to attain herd immunity.
The vaccination programme started on 18 February but there was a slow uptake at the beginning.
