Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu has received a Covid-19 jab on Wednesday at State House where she launched a vaccination exercise. The president said her move to receive the jab publicly is meant to instill confidence in citizens that it is safe. In her speech before receiving the vaccine, the president reminded Tanzanians that the Janssen jab is a one-shot dose. She said that the government has put in place measures to ensure that the Tanzanians who are willing to be vaccinated get the jab. Suluhu has also asked the Ministry of Health and artists to reach out to some of the citizens who are rejecting the vaccines in the name of religion.
