To date, more than 64 million Chinese citizens have been vaccinated,\u201d Yiming stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking at the event, the minister of health and social services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula stated that the health authority\u2019s work will start immediately, guided by a well-articulated plan of action.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added that vaccination in Namibia will be conducted in phases and will be rolled out under the auspices of the existing Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), latching on to the existing infrastructure, human resources, and experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVaccination will start in two regions, namely Khomas Region and Erongo Region. As it will be recalled, these two regions have, at different times, been classified as epicentres of the COVID-19 pandemic in Namibia\u201d Dr. Shangula said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The target populations include frontline health care workers, community health workers, persons who are aged between 18 and 59 years, persons in close settings and those operating cross-border transportation (truck drivers, pilots, cross-border public transport bus drivers), employees at ports of entry, police officers, journalists, members of the diplomatic corps, workers in the mining and fishery sector, religious and traditional leaders, people with disabilities, minorities, and refugees will be prioritized in Phase I of the immunization campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Persons with co-morbidities, those older than 60, as well as pregnant and lactating women will be excluded, to allow the country to obtain more data on the use of the Sinopharm vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Shangula said the Sinopharm SARS-CoV2 Vaccine will be used in Phase 1. It is a two-dose vaccine, of 0.5ml, administered on Day 1 and Day 28.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Individuals that test positive for COVID-19 must wait for 90 days before receiving their first dose.
