People aged 58 and above are now eligible to get Covid-19 vaccination from any of the accredited health facilities across the country, the Ministry of Health has said.

Further, the government has offered the vaccine to all political, religious and community leaders as a way of boosting confidence in the overall vaccination process, which has so far seen approximately 64,000 people inoculated against the Covid-19 virus.
