EVERYWHERE I went over the past week, I heard people talking about the Covid-19 vaccination. Another neighbour told my mum proudly the next day about her daughter who had got her first AstraZeneca jab a week before. In several WhatsApp groups I belong to, the Covid-19 vaccination topic is all the rage. It appears that the initial hesitancy among people about getting vaccinated is fast fading, although there are still some who remain sceptical. Economists have warned that the speed of economic recovery hinges on the success of the immunisation programme, which determines how soon we can reopen the economy.
