More jabs from China arrive in Zimbabwe and Cambodia

HARARE/PHNOM PENH－Zimbabwe on Saturday received a shipment of a COVID-19 vaccine from Chinese drugmaker Sinopharm as the southern African country ramps up vaccinations to battle a third wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

The country is also expecting to take delivery of a vaccine from another Chinese pharmaceutical company, Sinovac Biotech, this week.

The latest vaccine delivery from China comes as Zimbabwe registers a rebound in COVID-19 cases, prompting authorities to introduce new restrictive measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.
