So, we have enough vaccines to vaccinate everyone, and everyone can also receive a booster shot. > I hope that members of the august House are beginning to receive their booster shots, and I encourage them to do so if they have not. I certainly have. Ncube also revealed that development partners have contributed US$150.5 million towards the fight against COVID-19.
