*J&J Vaccine Roll Out A Work In Progress - Govt*
https://www.pindula.co.zw/2021/10/18/jj-vaccine-roll-out-a-work-in-progress-govt/?article

The government says the rollout of the approved Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine has been delayed due to challenges associated with the vaccine’s storage.

The Chief Coordinator of COVID-19 Response in the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), Dr Agnes Mahomva, said that she was aware that some people are wondering when Zimbabwe will roll out J&J, but the challenges that have delayed the launch of Sputnik-V have also hampered the introduction of J&J. Said Mahomva:

_Indeed, we have had several meetings with the Medicine Control Authority of Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Health and Child Care and others to look at how we can deploy the Johnson & Johnson vaccine._

_They looked at the science and they gave their reports on that. I know people always say, Oh the J&J has been given authorization, let’s use it tomorrow but on the ground, if you look at the details, you find that it has got so many issues and challenges._

_When we sat with the Ministry of Health, we noted that we are struggling in terms of capacity to store and roll out the J&J vaccine._

_You know we have got the Sputnik-V and we have just struggled to also roll that one out because it has similar requirements to the J&J._

_The ministry has been focusing on trying to make sure that their capacity improves before we roll out the approved J&J so members of the public should understand that it is a work in progress._

Meanwhile, Mahomva said members of the public with old vaccination cards were also free to approach any health centre and get new ones as long as they have a copy of the old card.
