In the wake of a looming Covid-19 fourth wave, Project Last Mile has embarked on a six-month campaign in Thyolo and Zomba districts to scale up Covid-19 vaccine uptake.

Health experts have given mixed views on the statistics released by the Presidential Taskforce on Covid 19 that one million Malawians are now fully vaccinated from the disease.

Board member for the church and society of the Blantyre Synod of the CCAP church, Rev Dr Josephy Thipha says it is the church's desire to have majority of its members vaccinated against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two prominent traditional leaders, Paramount Chief Lundu and Inkosi ya Makhosi Gomani V have implored the government to increase civic education tactics to motivate the majority rural poor to go for Covid 19 vaccination.

People who are seeking COVID-19 vaccine from various health facilities across the country have complained that they are kept waiting on queues as the facilities do not have the doses.
