In Zimbabwe, Andrew Ngwenya and his wife waited hours to get a COVID-19 shot, but failed. A world away in Canada, the only thing that stopped mother-of-three Amanda Wood from immediately getting her daughter Lola immunized was her fear of needles.

Wood told Lola: If you get the vaccine you’ll be able to see your friends again. You’ll be able to play sports. And enticed by the promise of resuming a normal, teen life, Lola agreed.On a recent day, Andrew Ngwenya sat outside his home in a working-class township in Harare, the capital, pondering how he could save himself and his family from COVID-19.

In one country, early stumbles in the fight against COVID-19 were overcome thanks to money and a strong public health infrastructure. In the other, poor planning, a lack of resources and the failure of a global mechanism intended to share scarce vaccines have led to a desperate shortage of COVID-19 shots -- and oxygen tanks and protective equipment, as well.

Gutter journalism, shame on you. Zimbabwe has the highest vaccination rate in Southern Africa, and one of highest in Africa. Well ahead of South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. Those are the facts

Does AP style call for that comma?

Are we trying to get their president killed?

Your narrative of story is slime why can't you compare your vaccinate rates with your neighbors and leave Zimbabwe out. Poor journalism

At least you don't keep posting the same stories over and over and over and over like NBCNews does....😂😂😂😂

Kinda redundant.

This is nt accurate it depends with centers.. I only needed 10miutes maximum to get my covid 19 jab

Idiotic framing. Eau de racism is a popular fragrance in your newsrooms.

Shame on you for spreading falsehoods, anyways who tf is this guy Andrew Ngwenya

Was the failure not to overwhelming response rather than lack of vaccines. Shows Zim is shaking grounds when it is compared to Canada instead of it's peers.

Dogs only barks at a moving vehicle. Iyalinqumbanqumba straight izim it seems abanye balala phandle kwengubo😂ndebeleproverb

What some loads of bullshit. Stop spreading FakeNews. Zimbabwe is doing well with its vaccination program

Poor article by the way.

How many native Canadians have been vaccinated How do u compare the two countries...Zim relies on donations and the colonial Canadian government was hording the vaccines from the manufacturer

Every nation around the world see us Zimbabweans as CLOWNS thanks to Zanu pf

Oh please 🙄 just leave us alone

No to mRNA vaccines

Can Zimbabwe sue for defamation? Propaganda against Zim is too much , the falsehoods are also too much maybe the custodians of brand Zim should look into legal routes to rectify the misnomer nickmangwana MoHCCZim

Why lie about Zimbabwe,

Useless journalism & propaganda it won't work anymore here now we know all the tricks , I think you should be kicked out of Zimbabwe

This is rubbish. What exactly do you want from Zimbabwe, you imperialists For your own information foreigners from SouthAfrica, Zambia, UK, etc are coming all the way to Zim to be vaccinated

You mean the same Canada that has had over 26000 deaths from Covid-19. Dear lord, these racist journos Can just not keep Beautiful 🇿🇼 off their mouths. If these are the type of reports you are supplying your country AmbCanZimbabwe you are doing a shoddy job. Anyways carry on

l like the replies to the article. Zimbabwe will never be a colony again.

Ndianiko Andrew Ngwenya akatadza kubaiwa 😂🤣

Do the honorable thing and pull Down this post as it clear fabrications far from facts... but then again why pull it down. you strive & trade in lies. Its Business as usual. Lies serves you right.

De-egma ....izita rakanaka kwazvo

This is utter nonsense. Zimbabwe is doing well in terms of vaccination roll out. When vaccines stocks were low a month ago , it happened, now noone is being turned away.

You talked to a Pastor? A lying pastor or it is you lying? Which centre did he go to that had a 5km queue? 🤷🏾‍♂️ He instead should take the blame of him choosing faith of Science thus hesitating to go get vaccinated on time when demand was low. Those people caused the hesitancy

Poor attempt at journalism

Do better!

What on earth is this? Are you trying to promote a country hooding vaccines? Anyway Zimbabweans are satisfied with the vaccination plan so far try another country!

This is trash at its best, Zim is doing well in terms of COVID-19 vaccine program

A lot of my friends, workmates and relatives in Bulawayo were hesitant in April and May to get vaccinated. They wanted to see if those who vaccinated earlier will die in 2months. These are other reasons that caused the July rush for vaccine leading to overcrowding.

Are you for real?

Do proper research asi watumwa here

Which Zimbabwe is this? We literally walk into a vaccination centre and leave in less than 10 minutes. Try using another country, on Zimbabwe you are completely lost. It has arguably the most organised vaccination program in Africa and beyond

Such ignorance on progress by Zim on vaccination is embarrassing. Zim is doing well, surpassing all Southern African countries

Nxaaaaa

Such garbage. Y'all waited for a period where we have high pressure. Andrew should've gone when the rest of us did. It was a 3 min wait two months ago

And after that Canadians are dying like flies. In Zimbabwe we are very very safe bfre and after vaccine

Stop publishing fake news! Leave Zimbabwe into your silly propaganda

Zimbabwe was a mistake.

this is terrible news

'Wood told Lola: If you get the vaccine you’ll be able to see your friends again. You’ll be able to play sports. And enticed by the promise of resuming a normal' The Lie Detector Determined That Was a Lie

Fun fact Zimbabwe is a nation in the continent of Africa.

Nailed the pervasive inequality between the global North and the global South.

In Springfield, Missouri, a Covid surge leads to uptick in vaccinations“Everyone needs to realize that this is not just another wave like we saw before,” the lead infectious disease physician at Mercy Hospital Springfield said. That is good news TheTobster111 So deeply sad. Covid is ravaging these areas where people have bizarre ideas about the vaccine. They won't have full immunity for 5 to 6 weeks. First shot then 21 or 28 days then second shot then 2 weeks. While they should be applauded for finally getting the shots they need to mask up and stay home away from their pals that still won't get it. Should have been months ago.
