Mozambique on Monday, launched the vaccination campaign against the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Maputo Central Hospital, with the country’s Health Minister Armindo Tiago being the first to take the vaccine provided by China.
Tiago took the vaccine provided by China, giving the process a start with priority for health professionals.
“I feel good. Not bad,” said the minister shortly after he received the first shot with the presence of many local officials and health professionals.
He noted that “the vaccine is safe, I encourage other health professionals to take the doses.”
